P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Yamaha have confirmed they won’t let Toprak Razgatlioglu test the BMW until after their WorldSBK agreement ends in November.
The 2023 WorldSBK season will conclude this weekend at Jerez, but Toprak Razgatlioglu will have to wait until December to ride the BMW M 1000 RR. Razgatlioglu surprised everyone by switching teams to BMW, leaving Yamaha in need of finding a replacement for the talented rider. They eventually signed six-time world champion Jonathan Rea. However, Yamaha has decided to honor their agreement with Razgatlioglu, which allows him to test the BMW once his Yamaha contract expires at the end of November. His debut with the BMW will be a one-day outing at Portimao on December 4th, followed by two days of testing at Jerez. The delay in testing is seen as a missed opportunity, but the team is still working behind the scenes to prepare the bike for Razgatlioglu’s arrival.
