The MotoGP grill is closed and Toprak Razgatloglu has a contract with BMW until December 31, 2025, but rumors about the participation of the two -time WSBK champion do not stop growing, and they point out that we could see it compete in MotoGP before the end of this season.
Since his time with Yamaha at the WSBK, Toprak was tantling the option to compete in MotoGP. Although after even trying the M1, the plan did not go ahead and the Turk went to compete for BMW both in 2024, where he got the title, and in this 2025 that has just begun and in which he is beating the copper against Nicolo Bulega.
But rumors do not stop, they take strength and although they cannot be contrasted, they make it clear that Razgatlioglu could make their debut this year on MotoGP. These same rumors also draw the plan that the Turkish pilot would follow, until it became at the controls of a motorcycle of the queen category and all this year.
The first thing is to place Toprak on a motorcycle, which they say would be a deep. The Japanese brand is moving forward and is the one that has progressed the most in recent months, going from closing the grill to be measured with KTM and Aprilia, surpassing Yamaha at the season start. Therefore, although it is not a Ducati begins to be a reasonable option.
One thing is what rumors say, but what does the calendar say?
The fact is that as the rumors are raised, we would be talking about a MotoGP debut not only of the Honda hand but once the Superbike World Cup is over and before the queen category does. That leaves us from the weekend of October 26 to November 16 when MotoGP ends in Valencia. It means that he would have the option of participating in Malaysia, Portugal or Valencia.
What rumors do not detail is the way in which Toprak could prepare that jump, because BMW should not only allow him to run before finishing his contract but, in addition, he should allow him to prove the RC213V before finishing the Superbike season.
It is just there where the plan seems to complicate more, but what there is no doubt is that when Razgatlioglu and Sofuoglu (his manager) they propose something, they get it. What seems more feasible is that it finds accommodation for 2026 and in Honda, either in the CSF or in the official team.
According to Robbie Bacon in Rideapart, he was able to speak about the situation with a Honda representative, who said that it was only a rumor and that they did not make statements about rumors.
In any case, it would not be a crazy idea. Don’t you think?
