While Jonathan Rea is testing his 2024 Yamaha and Andr⛎ea Iannone is riding next year’s Ducati, Razgatlioglu must wait longer before jumping on his new bike.

Razgatlioglu is leaving ♋Yamaha for BMW next season but his contract with th🐬e Japanese manufacturer runs until November 30, 2023.

He had expressed disappointment and imp♍lied that Yamaha did not permit him to take part in today’s Jerez test for BMW.

But Yamaha’s road racing manager made him an offer - which he rejected - which wou♍ld have allowed him to test for BMW at the next Jerez test on November 22-23, according to .

Part of the deal would have been for Razgatlioglu to not publicly compare the Yamaha to the BMಌW.

Be𝔍cause they could not find a deal, Razgatlioglu must wait until December 4 to test a BMW.

Last week, Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager Andrea Dosoli said: “As you know, it was our intention to go ahead with Toprak in the next years but he’s chosen something different and we fully respect that; Toprak is most probably the rider🐼 with the most brilliant future, considering his age and performance. 

“There is a clear agreement in place until the end of November that I believe was c♔lear to both of us to respect it.”

BMW team manager Shaun Muir added:ꦰ “We asked for Toprak to test, but we must respect the contract that was signed back in the day and equally we’d probably ask to do the same.&𝔉nbsp;

“It’s just ♌a shame that we couldn’t get him released to join that test like most of them are going to be.

“That’s an opportunity missed; it’s a long four or five weeks where we don’t get any track action for Toprak, but it doesn’t mean nothing is 🥂happening behind the scenes for us to get the bike ready for him. 

“We look forward to that first test in Dece꧃mber. We’ve got December 4th at Portimao followed by🥃 another two days at Jerez.”
