A rider who MotoGP just won’t give a chance to could be just what BMW needs for its impending Toprak Razgatlioglu-shaped gap
Toprak Razgatlioglu’s move to MotoGP creates a void in the World Superbike Championship, especially for BMW, which had a remarkable turnaround in Superbike fortunes since his arrival.
BMW’s success in WSBK was largely thanks to Razgatlioglu, who won 27 out of their 28 victories in just a year and a half.
Finding a replacement for Razgatlioglu won’t be easy, but BMW should consider a bold approach for the post-Razgatlioglu era.
One potential candidate is Moto2 rider Aron Canet, who has shown promise in the grand prix paddock and could be a good fit for WSBK.
Canet himself is open to the idea of moving to WSBK, especially if MotoGP opportunities are not forthcoming.
Amidst a changing rider market in WSBK, Canet could bring a fresh perspective and skill set to the series, making him a valuable asset for BMW or any team looking for a competitive edge.
