Toprak Razgatlioglu still dreams of making it to MotoGP, although he’s aware that time isn’t on his side – he sees 2026 as his last potential opportunity. If he made that leap, could the Superbike world champion succeed?

Marco Melandri told GPOne.com that a crucial factor would be the tyres: ‘It’s complex, but Toprak is the only one who could do it. Ideally, for him, Pirelli would also join MotoGP. With that, he could definitely succeed on a good bike. The problem is simply that it’s very hard to switch to different tyres after so many years with Pirelli’.

The former rider highlighted the significant impact tires have on feel and riding style: ‘MotoGP has a larger, stiffer front tyre. This changes the feel significantly; the carcass, how you ride, how you use the brake, and even how you approach cornering’.

On the other hand, Melandri thinks it won’t be easy for Razgatlioglu to switch categories after so many years in World Superbike: ‘For Toprak, though, it’s already starting late because he has spent so many years in SBK, and when you «fall asleep» in one category, it becomes hard to learn new things when you switch. That’s why even riders coming from Moto2 or Moto3 only stay there for a couple of years, no more. You have to learn how to adapt’.
