The next chapter of Toprak Razgatlioglu\u2019s story is ready to begin as the WorldSBK star prepares to join Prima Pramac Yamaha for the upcoming season. There has been a lot of talk and speculation across social media in the past few months regarding race numbers, with Razgatlioglu confirming a change to #7 for 2026.<\/p>\n

It marks a switch from his familiar #54, which Razgatlioglu has used throughout his WorldSBK career, as the Turkish rider now steps into MotoGP \u2013 where Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) already races with #54. The two have joked about the number on social media, with Razgatlioglu teasing that he might have to bargain for the chance to use #54.<\/p>\n

Now the reigning WorldSBK Champion will switch to the #7, a number that he has previously used early in his career. The #7 most recently appeared on the grid with Augusto Fernandez, who ran it during several wildcard\/test appearances.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes just hours after fellow MotoGP rookie, Diogo Moreira, revealed that he will use #11<\/a> for the 2026 season. Now the Valencia Test is just around the corner, as Razgatlioglu prepares to ride the Yamaha YZR-M1 in front of the world\u2019s media!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next chapter of Toprak Razgatlioglu\u2019s story is ready to begin as the WorldSBK star prepares to join…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85,83],"class_list":{"0":"post-291155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-text"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
