Toprak Razgatlioglu has ridden for the first time with the number one ꦜplate oꦺn his BMW M1000RR at a private test in Jerez.

The ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK squad was at the Circuit de Jerez-Angel Nieto♛ for a final test of 2024, in preparation for the 2025 season.

Razgatlioglu, who won the Wo🍰rldSBK title in his first attempt with BMW this year, rode at the test with the #1 plate for the first time since becoming champi🅷on for the second time.

After the 2024 season, the Turkish rider told WorldSBK.com that “Honestly I do🔜n🎶’t like a lot the number one, I love the #54.”

Razgatlioglu had str𓆏uggled in 2022 after winning the 2021 title with Yamaha, and didn’t win a race until the Superpole Race of the f☂ourth round that year before ultimately relinquishing the title to Alvaro Bautista at the penultimate round in Indonesia.

“But B🍌MW deserve it,” Razgatlioglu said. “For BM𒅌W, I will use the number one.”

In Jerez, we got our first look at Razgatlioglu’s new #1 plate, the first one to be pla﷽ced on a BMW in WorldSBK after Razgatlioglu won the Bavarian brand its first title in the series; the defence of which will begin on 21-23 Fe🍌bruary 2024 at Phillip Island — one of only two circuits Razgatlioglu raced at in 2024 without winning — on an updated M1000RR sporting new aerodynamics and engine changes.
