Toprak Razgatlioglu, the ultimate showman: as he awaits MotoGP, he sings and drives fans wild

Razgatlioglu is used to putting on a show on track and intends to do the same in MotoGP; in the meantime, he treated himself to a singing performance.

Toprak Razgatlioglu has been a major protagonist of the Superbike World Championship in recent years. He has won three historic titles, one with Yamaha and two with BMW, and in 2026 he decided to test himself in MotoGP. Even if some are skeptical, especially because he signed with a brand going through a bit of a rough patch like Yamaha, the Turkish rider is convinced he can do well in the top class. In Turkey he has a huge following, and his many fans are ready to support him in this new challenge.

The three-time WorldSBK champion has already ridden the Yamaha M1 in two tests, one at Aragon and the other at Valencia. Positive feelings, even though there’s still a lot of work to do to reach a good level. The next MotoGP tests will be at Sepang (February 3-4-5) and Buriram (February 21-22). In Malaysia, he will also take part in the shakedown scheduled for January 29-30-31.

While waiting to get back in the saddle, Razgatlioglu is training with his usual commitment and allowing himself a few light-hearted moments. For example, in Turkey he was a guest on the New Year’s special of O Ses Türkiye, the Turkish version of the talent show The Voice. On that occasion, he performed as a singer, covering the song “Çatma Yarim” by Reynmen.

We’re used to seeing Toprak as a rider, but it was interesting to see him in a different role as well. He didn’t shy away from testing himself at something far removed from motorcycles, and he held his own on stage too. His fans appreciated it, even if they prefer him on the track.
