MotoGP World Prepares for a New Transformation: Toprak Razgatlıoğlu to Test 850cc Engine!
The tests, which will take place in Brno, will be a thrilling turning point as it marks the first time that new generation MotoGP motorcycles and Pirelli tires will hit the track, set to be used in the 2027 season. Within this scope, three-time World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu will also participate in these tests as our representative, aiming to gather important data by experiencing the adaptation process of the 850cc Yamaha MotoGP motorcycle.
Details and Planning of the Brno Test
The Brno test, which will begin on Monday, will see Toprak Razgatlıoğlu take his first turn on the 850cc Yamaha MotoGP motorcycle. The aim is to obtain valuable information about the motorcycle’s aerodynamic features, suspension system, and overall performance during this process. It has been announced that Toprak plans to conduct a sprint race simulation on Monday, despite the adaptation process being in its early stages.
“Intense Schedule” and the Reason for Sprint Simulation?
Toprak Razgatlıoğlu assessed the intensity of the test program as follows: "I will be very busy during the test. I looked at the schedule, I will do a lot of laps, and I will also conduct a sprint race simulation." However, Toprak’s justification for conducting this simulation was noteworthy. “I was quite tired after pushing to maximum level in the last 10 laps of the Brno race,” he explained, indicating that he is following a strategy to maintain performance efficiency.
A New Look at Pirelli Tires
Three-time World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu has extensive experience with Pirelli tires in the Superbike category, but will be using Pirelli tires developed specifically for MotoGP for the first time. Regarding this situation, Razgatlıoğlu commented, “Everyone’s expectations are very high, but we will see what happens.” He stated that the Pirelli tires could help the rider feel more secure overall and have a better sense of front/rear handling. However, Razgatlıoğlu’s biggest concern was driving all day on Pirelli tires and then flying to Assen to resume riding with Michelin tires. This situation also brings about the driver's difficulty in adapting to the different performance characteristics of the tires.
The Potential of the 850cc Engine
During the tests, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu will have the opportunity to examine the new 850cc engine closely. There is high expectation that this engine represents a major step forward for MotoGP and will further increase competition.
