Toprak Razgatlioglu is in the final stages of negotiations with Yamaha to transition to MotoGP in 2026 as a two-time World Superbike champion.
Reports from various sources, including his manager Kenan Sofuoglu, suggest that the deal is imminent and will be officially announced soon.
Although the specifics of the agreement are still undisclosed, signs point towards Razgatlioglu joining Pramac, Yamaha’s satellite team, potentially displacing current riders Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller.
The potential shuffle in the team lineup is being closely monitored, with both Yamaha and Pramac interested in retaining their current riders due to their strong performances and contributions to bike development.
Oliveira’s season has been hindered by a significant injury earlier in the year, impacting his performance and raising questions about his future alongside Miller.
Efforts are being made to find a fair resolution for all parties involved, respecting the contractual obligations of all riders and considering the potential implications of any roster changes.
Razgatlioglu’s existing partnership with Red Bull poses a challenge for him to join Yamaha’s factory team given the conflict with Monster Energy, Yamaha’s primary sponsor, adding another layer of complexity to the negotiations.
