No love for Toprak here?

So Toprak Razgatlıoğlu gets his third WSBK championship and not a peep about it here?

I thought it was quite interesting how Bulega managed to take it to the very last race before Toprak could claim victory. There were a lot of people in the crowd booing Bulega after that sprint race.

And congratulations to Bautista for taking a solid third place.

I'm waiting to see what Toprak can do in MotoGP next year. Is there some way he can get in a ride or two in on of the three remaining MotoGP races?

Nice. Definitely a fan. There is a good documentary on him on YouTube.

Looking forward to him coming to grips with a GP bike.

I love him in WSBK. I think he's an incredible talent, but I still don't understand the rationale of him going to MotoGP.
I think it would be amazing to see him do well in MotoGP, but I simply don't expect it'll happen.

Considering he is going to Yamaha, I expect a Spies sort of trajectory.... He would be well advised to jump to a ducati ASAP (any ducati at this point is fine....)

There is a VERY small club of GP racers who can hang with MM, look at this video here:

Even Jack Miller who arguably has raw talent to hang with MM didn't advance in GP the same. Talent without a bike to match and you are just like Fabio with a flash ride here or there....

I dig Toprak. WSBK won't be the same without him.
