Yamaha are asked: “Why not approach Toprak Razgatlioglu?”
“If I’m Yamaha I’d be interested in getting Top▨rak because I’d want someone special"

Yamaha should sign Toprak Razgatlioglu to add “someone special”, they ha🔥ve been told.
The addition of a satellite team, Pramac, to the structure of the Japanese manufacturer next season has shifꦜted the MotoGP landscape.
World Superbikes championship leader Razgatlioglu had claimed he wanted to switch series forꦅ 2025 before a U-turn, insisting he wouldn’t break his BMW contract.
“I find it really interesting,” TN🐼T Sports’ Neil Hodgson said.
“I was at the Superbikes Misano round, I manage Al꧟ex Lowes so I’m ac﷽ross what is happening.
“When you stand at the side of the track and watch Toprak, he’s even ♍more impressive. He dominated that ꦿweekend.
“The other BMW riders, who are top riders, were nowhere nea𒆙r.
“We are all aware that Toprak is a 💛special talent.
“If you are Yamaha with four full factory bikes next year, or Honda with four bikes, and you’ve got experienced riders but you need sꦰomeone special? Why not approach Toprak?"
He said last weekend at Assen: “If I’m Yamaha I’d be interested in getting Topraܫk because I’d want someone special, where the rider can make a difference.
“Toprak can make a d🌃ifference. It sounds like he’s had an approach 🐬from Honda…”
It since appears that Joan Miꦺr will re-sign with Honda, alongside the contracted Luca Marini. Johann Zarco is tied to LCR Honda, but Takaaki Nakagami's future is undecided.
R♋azgatlioglu’s insistence that he would swap WSBK for MotoGP in 2025 has dampened due to the lack of factory bikes on offer.
Last year he tested Yamaha’s MotoGP bike but it wasn’t enough to prom♎pt them to immediately bring him over.
Instead, Razgatlioglu sp𓄧lit with Yamaha’s WSBK proj🌄ect and joined BMW where he has emerged as a threat for the championship again.
But he remains an i✤ntriguing option for any MotoGP brave enough to back his ability to quickly adapt to a different machine.
