Agostini, who won the 1975 MotoGP title on a Yamaha, said: \u201cHe has proven himself to be very good in Superbikes.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, MotoGP is a bit more sophisticated and difficult, but if he has the talent, he will succeed there too.<\/p>\n
\u201cLoving this sport and loving the riders, it is logical to always think that they will do well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to hope, but then it\u2019s the facts that count. So, we\u2019ll see in the first few races.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I made the leap [to Yamaha], I won two world championships [in 350cc and 500cc].<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I won the first race right away.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I was already coming from grand prix bikes, while he is coming from Superbikes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a big difference, it\u2019s small, but it\u2019s an important difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Razgatlioglu said during Pramac\u2019s launch event that he anticipated the 2026 season to be \u201creally hard\u201d.<\/p>\n
But his manager, Kenan Sofuoglu believes his rider will score \u201ca couple of podiums\u201d in his debut year.<\/p>\n
