Toprak Razgatlioglu continues to demonstrate why he is seen as one of the great talents of motorcycling and the World Superbike Championship. Last weekend, he secured his first two victories with ROKiT BMW – and the Bavarian manufacturer hadn’t won a race in over a decade.
The Turkish rider’s performances do not go unnoticed. He has a very unique riding style that worked with Kawasaki, worked with Yamaha, and is now yielding results with BMW. Aggressive, he doesn’t easily lose a direct battle on track, and he doesn’t even fear more experienced opponents.
Marco Melandri watched the Barcelona round of the WSBK and didn’t hesitate to praise Razgatlioglu. According to the Motosan.es website, the former rider spoke about #54 during a conversation with Davide Valsecchi on Instagram, stating:
– This year, the SBK is wonderful. I was in Barcelona, and Sunday’s Superpole race was truly spectacular. Toprak proved to be an absolute phenomenon, bringing BMW back to victory after 11 years, and that overtake on [Álvaro] Bautista will be go down in history.
