Turkish superstar Razgatlioglu delivered Yamaha its first WSBK title in 2021 since 2009 when he beat Jonathan Rea in a thrilling season that went down to the final round in Indonesia last November.
Razgatlioglu had been linked to a MotoGP switch for 2022 with Yamaha’s satellite outfit – which was formerly Petronas SRT, and is now the rebranded RNF Racing – but signed a two-year deal to remain with the Japanese marque in WSBK.
