Yamaha <\/a>package is going to be. So that’s another question mark.<\/p>\n\u201cBut I think that in 2027 – obviously, the DNA of the Pirelli tyres suit his style a lot, and we know how fast he can be with, let’s say, more conventional bikes, without ride-height devices, like in superbikes.<\/p>\n

Asked whether Razgatlioglu should treat 2026 purely as a learning year ahead of the regulation changes, Guintoli isn\u2019t ruling out a rookie season surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs he going to be able to excel in the same riding phases where he excelled on the BMW? Is he going to be able to replicate that and gain an advantage on the MotoGP bikes versus the other MotoGP riders?<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t know! That’s what we’re going to find out.<\/p>\n
\u201cToprak knows it\u2019s probably going to be tough to begin with, but what an exciting prospect to see him in MotoGP!\u201d<\/p>\n
After riding alongside his MotoGP rivals for the first time in November\u2019s Valencia test, Razgatlioglu will try the latest version of the new Yamaha V4 during the Sepang Shakedown test at the end of this month.<\/p>\n
