Toprak to Test Quartararo Setup in Catalunya
BARCELONA – Yamaha rider Toprak Razgatlıoğlu plans to run different setup experiments on his Yamaha V4 motorcycle ahead of the upcoming Catalunya Grand Prix, studying world champion Fabio Quartararo’s racing strategies to boost his performance and close the gap between him and the Frenchman.
Quartararo’s Pressure
At the recent French Grand Prix, Quartararo secured sixth place on the Yamaha V4, creating a significant gap between the Yamaha and other bikes. The French rider finished the race 7.7 seconds behind Jorge Martin, drawing attention to Yamaha’s overall performance. Toprak Razgatlıoğlu also achieved his best MotoGP result of the season, 13th, in that race.
“I Want to Understand Fabio’s Pace”
Speaking after the race, Razgatlıoğlu said, “We learned a lot in Le Mans. I’m trying to understand why Fabio is faster because we need to develop the bike like he does.” He highlighted Quartararo’s interest in racing strategy and motorcycle setup.
Issues in Corners and New Settings
Razgatlıoğlu discussed the difficulties he experienced controlling the bike during corner entry and turns. “We’re close to Fabio in braking, but we’re still losing a lot of time turning the bike,” he stated. Therefore, he plans to follow Quartararo’s setup experiments at the Catalunya Grand Prix to improve the bike’s performance. “If I like it, we’ll continue. If not, we’ll look in another direction.”
Old Front Wing Package Returned
The return of the old front wing package used by Toprak and Quartararo in Le Mans had drawn attention. Razgatlıoğlu explained that he felt the part better when the bike leaned during braking and revealed the reason he was using the same part as Quartararo.
MotoGP Riding Position Adaptation Process
Razgatlıoğlu stated that he had not yet fully adapted to the riding positions of MotoGP motorcycles. “I’m still sitting too high. The front end feels very low. This isn’t my riding style, but I’m trying to adapt.”
Strong History in Catalunya
Toprak’s strong WorldSBK history at the Catalunya track is noteworthy. He had previously won races there and now aims for a similar success in MotoGP. “Superbike I have many beautiful memories here from that era. Now I want to create beautiful memories with Yamaha in MotoGP.”
2027 MotoGP Future Solidifying
As Toprak Razgatlıoğlu’s development within Yamaha is closely monitored, it is definitively assessed that the national athlete will continue to compete in MotoGP in 2027 as well. Yamaha is making significant investments in Toprak, particularly in the new technical regulations era, and intends to play an important role.
