One of the most-watched storylines of the upcoming 2026 MotoGP season has to be that of Toprak Razgatlioglu's entrance into the sport. The World Superbike champion has long-sought a grid spot at the top level of motorcycle racing, and was finally given the nod last year, coming into MotoGP with Pramac Yamaha.
An interesting time to join, as the team not only has a new V4 engine, but everyone's getting Michelin tires for the first time in ages.
The man, the myth, the legend that is Toprak, however, is one of those storied names who you always hope is given a shot at MotoGP, and with it now coming to fruition, you expect a lot. I mean, he's a championship-winning motorcycle racer who definitely has the chops to put in some fast as hell lap times. He's got to do well in MotoGP, right?
