Razgatlioglu was being seriously considered for a place in Yamaha’s MotoGP roster for the 2023 season on the back of his title success in WSBK last year, and even earned himself a test outing on the M1 at Aragon in June.
Ultimately, a move to MotoGP was scuppered by RNF Racing’s decision to end its ties with Yamaha and become a satellite Aprilia team for 2023, leaving the Japanese manufacturer with just two factory bikes and no remaining seats to slot Razgatlioglu in.
