A series of issues with Toprak Razgatlioglu’s switch to MotoG☂P have been identified.

Razgatlioglu has signed for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pramac Racing for 2026, meaning he will jump from the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship to MotoGP.

Feted for his skill using 𒁃Pirelli 🎃tyres in WorldSBK, Razgatlioglu will make the move into the premier class which will use Michelins next year, before changing to Pirelli in 2027.

The tyre adaptation is not the only problem posed by Razgatlioglu joining Moto🍸GP.

Lewis Duncan said on the Crash MotoGP podcast: “The question to ask is: why can’t❀ we have two series independent of each other with their own superstars?

“Why is i🍎t a bad thing for a rider to be a great Superbikes🐷 rider?

“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatioglu is a star. Him vs Nicolo Bulega has been greaꦅt - remove one aspect and you’ve just Ducati dominating next year. Ducati are also looking to bring Bulega into MotoGP in 2027, leওaving Superbikes with no draws.

“ওNext year isn’t the year for results for Toprak? Okay, but how can he test and develop a bike on Pirelli tyres when he isn’t able to ride at the limit of the [2026 bike on Michelins]?

“All the development work, really, will be done by Fabio and whoever ꦡstays. The people who can push the Yamaha to its limit.

“People don’t expect him to ride to his limit on Michelin tyres. “Why is that different on Pirellis? Th🤡e way Toprak rides Pirellis, I am not sure it’s a good road for Yamaha to gꦗo down. They risk only one rider being able to ride the Pirellis in a certain way.

🥃“Sorry to be a party pooper but I’m not that excited about it - he’s a great talent but he’s a great Superbikes talent, he’s the reason you want to watch Superbikes."

'If Toprak doesn't perform' problem posed

“I🌼f ඣToprak doesn’t perform in the second year when he’s supposed to be strong on the Pirellis, that is it for MotoGP. He won’t stick around for long," Lewis Duncan continued.

“If the Michelins don’t fit his riding style then the risk of crashing, and injuring himself? The whole project is a bust, anyway. Th⛎at would be a real shame but it’s something that can happen.

“There are too many things here to make me confidently 🅺s༺ay ‘Toprak will be a great MotoGP rider’.

“There ar✱e a lot of great MotoGP riders on the grid now that he’s got to be on a par wi💫th.

“Marc Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, Fabio Quar🐎tararo… would Topr🐼ak be as good as those guys? I don’t know. We don’t know.

“I hope it does wo𝔍rk out. I want it to work out. I think it’s great to have more nationalities on the grid andꩵ I hope it leads to a Turkish Grand Prix.

“But there are a lot of problems with this…”

Pramac must now decide how to complete their ﷺrider line-up in 2026.

Current riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira will be threatened by the arrival of🥃 Razgatlioglu.

The Turkish rider iಌs also reuniting with Yamaha, with whom he won his first WorldSBK title.
