Toprak completes a stunning Test on the Yamaha's M1

According to reports, the Turk recorded a 1'40 and completed over 100 laps over the course of two days at Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto.

The 2021 WorldSBK champion, Toprak Razgatliolu, was recently given an additional golden opportunity to ride Yamaha's MotoGP factory M1 during two days of private testing at Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto. Favourable cycling conditions meant the Turk could make the most of the situation too.

Razgatliolu was surrounded by a large number of Test Riders from Aprilia, Honda, and KTM, including Lorenzo Savadori, Stefan Bradl, Dani Pedrosa, and Jonas Folger. Yamaha Managing Director Lin Jarvis was also present in Jerez. According to reports, he completed 116 laps in Jerez and clocked a 1:38.860, coming within seven-tenths of the fastest Yamaha time, which was set by MotoGPTM Test Rider Cal Crutchlow. Dani Pedrosa posted the fastest test time, which was 1.4 seconds faster than Razgatliolu's.

In a tweet, Razgatlioğlu expressed his satisfaction with the testing session, stating that his primary focus was to understand the behaviour of the bike better rather than setting a new record. Nevertheless, he appeared to have had a fantastic time on the track and relished himself exceedingly.

"These two days went very well. My priority was to cover as many laps as possible in order to better understand the behaviour of this bike, rather than pushing hard to set a time. But it was still very enjoyable."

Everyone is wondering whether or not Razgatliolu will progress up to the MotoGPTM in the foreseeable future. It is a possibility that cannot be ruled out based on his impressive WorldSBK performances.
