Razgatlioglu's manager speaks clearly: "We want MotoGP in 2026"
The Turkish Superbike world champion feels ready for the big leap but only if he has a factory bike available

Toprak Razgatlioglu
Bologna, October 30, 2024 – A clear mission. A clear goal. Toprak Razgatlioglu wants the MotoGp. The world champion Superbike su BMW, defeated the Ducati by Nicholas Open up and removed the number one from Alvaro's hull Baptist, has decided to test his talent in the MotoGP starting in 2026, among other things with very clear conditions and requests: a factory bike. The Turkish rider does not want to be an extra and for his arrival in the top class he is asking for an official bike and not a customer one. Will it be possible?
The manager: “In 2026 MotoGP, but under these conditions”
Soil Razgatlioglu is now a top BMW rider, a bike capable of snatching the Superbike world title from Ducati but probably not entirely interested in entering as a new brand in MotoGP from 2026 with the change in regulations. Greener engines and fuels, smaller displacement, less aerodynamics and elimination of mechanical devices such as the lowering device. An epochal revolution and a small step backwards compared to the technological innovations carried out in recent years.
Se BMW What will the Turkish rider do if he doesn't enter MotoGP? He'll look for a team. His contract expires in a year and in 2026 he can make himself free for the premier class, but only under certain conditions. Word of his manager, and former rider, Kenan Sofuoglu: “In 2026 we would like to go to MotoGP – Sofuoglu's words to GpOne – We are ready to evaluate the opportunities on the table to find the most suitable proposal. At the moment BMW is our priority but we still don't know what will happen after 2025". Yes, because the Germans might not enter Moto GP and still remain in Superbike, in that case Razgatlioglu he would be ready to evaluate other brands in the world championship, but always factory and not private: "We want a factory package or a contract with the company as happened with Martin in Pramac, while we would not be interested in doing like Marc Marquez in Gresini. He has big sponsors behind him, we in Turkey don't". For sure, in 2025 Ducati will want to regain possession of the production-derived world championship and 'Razga' will have to keep an eye on a Open up constantly growing. It will be a spectacular challenge.
