168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu’s manager has addressed the suggestion they could move to Honda… in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbikes.

While Honda’s MotoGP project has been strongly linked with Razgatlioglu, there is an interesting hypothesis involving their꧒ WorldSBK team, too.

The claim is that Razgatli🅷oglu could be attracted by the manufacturer, initially staying in WorldSBK on a Honda i🦩n 2026.

He would then switch to Honda’s MotoGP team in 2027, when Pirelli have replaced Michelin as the tyre s🅰upplier.

Razgatlioglu has mastered Pirelli tyres in WorldSBK and this c𒆙ould be a key area of advantage for him, if he moves to MotoGP in 2027.

Kenan Sofuoglu, his manager, has had his say 💯on this rumour.

Honda option for Toprak Razgatlioglu?

“Should we stay in SBK, I think the best choice is to stౠay in BMW, because the project is very solid and competitive,” Sofuoglu told .

“Plus they believe so much in hi🍸m and they are 𒉰happy.

“If we wanted he could hav🥃e already left last year from BMW, but in the end we decided to stay, keeping our promܫise.

“BMW has to work har🦩d to retain a rider like Toprak, but it is not just about money.

“That is not the main reason why he went t♏here, but the proj🐽ect.”

Razgatlioglu’s BMW contract is expiring at the end of this season and Sꦛofuoglu has made it clear that they are pursuing a 🔜move into MotoGP.

Previous flirtations with MotoGP, including a ꦕtest when he was a Yamaha WorldSBK ride𓄧r, came to nothing.

But now Razgatlioglu is a two-time WorldSBK winner, and the defending champion, feted for hi🍸s masterful riding style.

Meanwhile, Honda’s MotoGꦉP project is slowly improving after years of sub-par perform🌃ances.

They have an interesting vacancy for 2026, with Lu💯ca Marini’s contract expiring.

Johann Zarco has impress🐼ed for LCR Honda, while they are also credited with an inte💎rest in offering huge money to sign Pedro Acosta.

But Razgatlioglu is also a key piece of the rider market this year, and his decision will inevitably have a 🦹knock-on effect.
