Toprak Razgatlioglꩲu has ridden for the first time with the number one plate on 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 tes🌃t of 2024, in preparation for the 2025 season.

Razgatlioglu, who won the WorldSBK title in his first attempt with BMW this year, rode at the test with the #1 plate for the first time since becomin🐭g champion for the second time.

After the 2024♏ season, the Turkish rider told WorldSBK💙.com that “Honestly I don’t like a lot the number one, I love the #54.”

Razgatlioglu had s🍎truggled in 2022 after winning the 2021 title with Yamaha, and didn’t win a race until the Superpole Race of the fourth round that year before ultimately relinquishing the title to Alvaro Bautist♈a at the penultimate round in Indonesia.

“But BMW dꦫeserve it,” Razgatlioglu said. “For BMW, I will use the number one.”

In Jerez, we got our first look at Razgatlioglu’s new #1 plate, the fir♑st one to be placed 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 February 2024 at Phillip Island — one of only two circuits Razgatlioglu raced at in 2024 without winning — on an updated M1000RR sporting new aerodynamics and eng🍒ine changes.
