Toprak Razgatlioglu’s alliance with BMW wil💃l only last another year if his primary goal is achieved.

The World Superbike Championship t𝔉itle-winner is eyeing a switch to MotoGP in 2026.

Toprak's first idea

He knows that moꦯve will require finding a new manufacturer because🔯 BMW don’t compete in MotoGP, and won’t by next year.

“It's because of my age,” the 28 ye🌞ar ol𓂃d told about his desire to switch series.

“Yes, that'ܫs why, if I can go in 2026, it would be perfect. If not, I'll still be a Superbike rider.

“I don't think I would go with BMW, because if BMW goes it would be in 2🌟027 or 2028.

“Maybe in th🔯e future we would meet BMW again, but, for no♋w, I can't say that I will go to MotoGP.

“We have to find a good con💧tract, if I don't stay in Superbike. I do not know. We will see in six or seven months.”

The idea that a talent as unique as Razgatlioglu would become available🏅 for next year is certain to pique ♚the interest of MotoGP team bosses.

However, at 28 already he represen♐ts somewhat of a risk compared to rookies from Moto2.

Razgatlioglu is also likely to seek a factory contract - and✱ the competition for those is fierce.

Toprak's second idea

The Turkish rider admits he h💯as considered winning a third WSBK championship with a third manufacturer.

“Yes. If I stay, I also think about that, but th𒈔e first goal is MotoGP,” he said.

But Razgatli🔜oglu insists he has the talent to compete in MotoGP already after racing Jorge Martin in th൲e Red Bull Rookies Cup.

“We're still friends. I'ꦫm very happy because Jorge won the title,” he ⛄said.

“Already in the Rookies Cup he was very fast. My only problem in t𝔉he Rookies was that it was too hi🅘gh, too high.

“He did an am🃏azing job in the Rookies and now. I hope to start fighting with him when I go to MotoGP,🐼 but now I can't say.”
