Toprak Razgatlioglu admits he could switch to Mot🍎oGP if he wins another Worl📖d Superbike title, adding that ‘it could be perfect’ if he moved with BMW.

The Turkish star, world champion with Yamaha in 2021🧸, has thrilled WorldSBK fans by putting BMW back on the top step with two wins from the opening six races of this season.

Throw in two other podiums�🐎�, and Razgatlioglu looks set to fight for BMW’s long-awaited first WorldSBK crown.

Should he achieve tha🔯t goal, the 27-year-old’s next c🧸ontract could be in MotoGP.

“If I win the Su🍌perbike title, I could race in MotoGP in 2026 and I don’t rule that out,” Razgatlioglu told .

“If I were to go to MotoGP it’s because I’m looking for 🌳a stimulating ܫchallenge. 

"Obvi🍒ously, it won’t be easy to jump int🌸o the other paddock, but we’ll see.”

Razgatlioglu took part in several private MotoGP tests for Yamaha early la𓂃st year. 

However, he🍌 didn't feel൩ comfortable on the M1 and stepped away from a grand prix move by signing for BMW.

Meanwhile, BMW is now rumoured to be interested in taking over the ex-S♉uzuki MotoGP grid places when the premier-class technical regulations cha♏nge in 2027.

“I would like BMW to go to MotoGP and I think it could be🌠 perfect,” Razgatlioglu said. “We will see ꧅what the future holds.

“Bu🧔t it cannot be ruled out that they could also remain here, in Superbike.”

Razgatlioglu starts this weekend’s Assen WorldSBK round holding fourth place in the world championship behind Nicolo Bulega (Ducati), Alvaro Bautista (♏Ducati) and Alex Lowes (Kawasaki).
