Razgatlioglu made his BMW debut on Sunday as part of a one-day test at Portimao, a circuit that has traditionally been one of his better World💫SBK venues.

And after beaming from ear-to-ear with smiles, Razgatlioglu is now at Jerez for a two-day test alongside team-mate Michael Van﷽ Der Mark.

Ge🐼rloff, who was the top BMW rider in 2023♐, will have a very stern challenge on his hands next season as Razgatlioglu will be the clear favourite to take over that position.

Discussing BMW’s ambition to sign someone like Razgatlioglu, Gerloff told WorldSBK.com: “It’s really cool to see BMW’s effort into the whole programme; I know with Toprak coming and all the riders that are alread🌟y here, we can move the programme forwards quite a bit. I think it’s going to be an exciting year for that.”

Focusing on Razgatlioglu’s potential, Gerlof♒f also admitted he expects the lap record in Jerez to be challenged by Razgatlioglu, despite it being only his second test. 

The official Jerez lap record is held by Jonathan Rea, who set a time of 1:3♏8.247s in 2019, while the race lap record is a 1:39.004s which was set in the same🅠 year by Alvaro Bautista. 

“I think he’s going to like it! The steps that we’ve made with b🅺raking, I don’t think he’s going to feel too far☂ away from where he was,” added the American rider. 

“Honestly, I don’t see him struggling at all; I see him being exactly the same, go😼ing just as fast or mo🤪re than likely faster. 

“I think he’ll gel with it really good and I’d be surprised if ☂he wasn’t doing lap records🌠 in the second test.”
