Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, on his way to the Superbike championship, earns acclaim for his success

Gianmaria Rosati, Superbike racing editor at the Italian motorsport magazine Motosprint, stated, "What Toprak has done this season is quite astonishing. He left a bike like Yamaha, which would be at the front, and moved to BMW, which could truly be considered a gamble. Because BMW hadn't even reached the podium last season. When he signed with BMW, even the most optimistic believed that Toprak would win at most 1-2 races this season. Yet, despite serious rivals, he broke the record for the most consecutive race wins."

Rosati commented, "The power of the bike, Toprak's braking ability, and his cornering skills have combined. This has surprised everyone. While people were saying 'He might win a few races,' he completely took over the season. He broke the record for the most consecutive race wins in Superbike, leaving Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea behind."

The Italian journalist noted that the national athlete missed a total of 6 races across two rounds due to an accident he had before the races held in France on September 6, but managed to widen the points gap again in the final races in Aragon. He also expressed that Toprak Razgatlıoğlu's capacity played a major role in BMW's development this season.

Guglielmetti: "Toprak is an extraordinary talent, a true phenomenon"

Italian journalist Riccardo Guglielmetti, who works for the GPOne.com channel which covers news and analysis on motorsports, also said, "I think Toprak is one of the greatest talents in Superbike history. You can see this when you look at his background and what he has won. In 2021, he became the Superbike champion with Yamaha at a very young age. Now, he is heading toward success with BMW, which hasn't won anything for a long time and didn't even reach the podium last season. Moreover, he is doing this while missing two rounds of the championship."

"Toprak is an extraordinary talent, a true phenomenon. If it weren't for the accident, he would have declared himself world champion by now," said Guglielmetti, adding, "We see this in the way he rides the bike, in his extreme style. It must also be said that he has an extraordinary personality as a human being. He is a humble, very gentlemanly, sincere, and fun young man. We see this on the podiums and in the race. He will be remembered forever in the world of motorcycle sports and will truly be among the greatest riders."

Arguing that it is time for Toprak to turn a new page in his career, Guglielmetti noted the following:

"I think he could race in Superbike for another 10 years if he wanted to. But I think 2026 might be a bit late and risky for him to move to Moto GP. I think next season is a suitable time for him to try Moto GP. Moto GP is a different market; of course, racing there doesn't depend solely on Toprak. But moving to Moto GP at a later time could be risky for him. He might miss the opportunity. The average age in Moto GP is quite low."
