Team Pata Yamaha rider Toprak Razgatlioglu couldn’t retain his Superbike World Championship (WSBK) title in 2022. After a season-long, three-way battle with Ducati’s Alvaro Bautista and Kawasaki’s Jonathan Rea, the Turkish rider relinquished his crown. With such a trying season in the rearview, it’s time for Razgatlioglu to unwind. What does that include, you may ask? Hard enduro training, of course.
The 26-year-old racer recently hopped aboard his Yamaha WR 250 F and joined some riding friends for a leisurely putt through the woods. For mere mortals, that translates to a grueling ride along Kemer, Turkey, where the Sea to Sky Hard Enduro race takes place. That’s right, Razgatlioglu spends his off-season plowing through rock gardens, climbing vertigo-inducing hillsides, and launching off makeshift jumps.
