Razgatlioglu wins third Superbike title before 2026 MotoGP move

Toprak Razgatlioglu secured his third World Superbike Championship title in 2025, finishing third in the final race at Jerez, which was enough to maintain a 13-point lead over his closest rival, Nicolo Bulega. Despite Bulega's strong performance during the season, including multiple race wins and a sprint victory in Jerez, Razgatlioglu's consistent podium finishes and late-season form allowed him to defend his crown successfully. Over the 2025 season, Razgatlioglu claimed 21 race wins and 31 podiums, cementing his status as one of the most successful riders in WorldSBK history with a total of three world titles, 78 race wins, and 172 podiums. After eight years in WorldSBK, Razgatlioglu announced his move to MotoGP in 2026, joining the Prima Pramac Racing team, marking a significant step as he transitions from production-based superbikes to prototype machinery. His career includes championship wins with both Yamaha and BMW, making him the first Turkish rider to achieve such success in the series. This move ends a dominant era in WorldSBK for Razgatlioglu, who is celebrated for his skill, resilience, and sportsmanship.
