BMW Engineer explains how Toprak Razgatlioglu pushed the Bike to its Limits with his Riding Style and not its Technical Limits
Toprak Razgatlioglu left Yamaha and joined BMW in 2024. Razgatlioglu won the title in his debut season with BMW and was able to defend it the following year. However, it was not so much the bike itself but Razgatlioglu’s riding style that made the success possible.
BMW Technical Director Chris Gonschor explained that Toprak Razgatlioglu did not push the bike to its technical limits. Instead, it was his unique riding style at the limit that led to success.
As Gonschor explained.
“What was special about Toprak’s seating position was that he often sat on the hump on the straights and no longer on the actual seat. This is not a normal seating triangle and is therefore extreme. No other rider sat on the bike the way he did on the straights. It’s really very unusual.
The entire seat unit is very flat. This is not to the liking of most riders, who prefer a slightly raised seat to provide rear support when leaning into corners. Toprak makes the most of his physique and body balance.
That’s why his seating position is extreme. But technically speaking, his setup is not unusual. His spring/damper configurations are completely standard, naturally adapted slightly to his braking technique. But it’s not a night-and-day difference compared to other drivers.
Topraks’ riding style – especially how he brakes and straightens up the bike – showed us how we can make better use of the electronics. Both when braking with the engine brake and accelerating with traction control, we found new ways to get our bike around the track faster.”

Toprak Razgatlioglu struggling to understand Moto GP Tyre limits
After leaving World SBK to join Moto GP for the 2026 season, Toprak Razgatlioglu is facing one of the biggest adjustments of his career. Adapting from Pirelli to Michelin tyres.
The 2026 season marks the final year of Michelin as the sole tyre supplier. Having competed on Pirelli rubber for years, Toprak Razgatlioglu admits he is still trying to understand the behaviour and limit.
Speaking after the Buriram pre-season test, Toprak Razgatlioglu highlighted his lack of confidence in the front tyre when leaning into corners.
As Razgatlioglu explained.
“I lose a lot in the first sector, especially in turn 1. I always take it a bit easier there because I don’t completely trust the front tyre. Everything is fine when braking, but I don’t know the limit when leaning. When I see Jack turning in sharply straight away, I’m surprised. At first, I almost wait for him to crash – and then I see how the bike just keeps turning in.
I’m still learning. The other riders know the tyres and trust them immediately when leaning into corners. I’m still learning. Maybe I’ll even have to crash once to understand the limit. I haven’t crashed yet, the bike is still in one piece – but maybe I need that to really understand it.
Everything is fine when braking; I even brake very hard. But when we turn, I don’t trust the front tyre like the other riders do. They lean fully into the bend and the motorbike continues to turn. I lean in more cautiously because I constantly expect the front wheel to slip away.”

Lyrics 내가 원하는 나의 모습과 네가 필요로 하는 나의 모습이 같지가 않다는 것 잘못된 건 아니지 않나요? 미안할 일 아니지 않나요? 그런데 왜 또 그렇게 자꾸 날 몰아세우는 건데? 도대체 뭐를 더 어떻게 해?
난 몇 마디의 말과 몇 번의 손짓에 또 몇 개의 표정과 흐르는 마음에 울고 웃는 그런 나약한 인간일 뿐인데 대체 내게서 뭐를 더 바라나요? 내가 줄 수 있는 것 그 이상을 줄 수 없음에 미안해야 하는 건 이제 그만 둘래요
달라졌구나 참 많이도 변했구나 난 여전히 그대론데 넌 달라져 버렸어 근데 혹시 한번쯤 반대로 생각해 본 적은 없었나요?
난 몇 마디의 말과 몇 번의 손짓에 또 몇 개의 표정과 흐르는 마음에 울고 웃는 그런 나약한 인간일 뿐인데 대체 내게서 뭐를 더 바라나요? 내가 줄 수 있는 것 그 이상을 줄 수 없음에 미안해야 하는 건 이제 그만 둘래요
빼곡히 들어선 의미라 했지만 나에겐 공허하기만 한 일방성의 무의미함 방랑과 방황의 차이
난 몇 마디의 말과 몇 번의 손짓에 또 몇 개의 표정과 흐르는 마음에 울고 웃는 그런 나약한 인간일 뿐인데 대체 내게서 뭐를 더 바라나요? 내가 줄 수 있는 것 그 이상을 줄 수 없음에 미안해야 하는 건 이제 그만 둘래요
Translation The image of myself that I want and the image of me that you need are not the same It’s not my fault, is it? I have nothing to be sorry for, do I? Then why do you keep punishing me? What more can I do?
I’m just a weak person who cries and laughs from a few words, a few gestures or a few expressions that move my heart What more do you want from me? I don’t want to feel guilty anymore for being unable to give more than I have
You’re different, you’ve changed so much I’m the person I’ve always been, but you’re someone else But did you ever, just once try to think about it the other way around?
I’m just a weak person who cries and laughs from a few words, a few gestures or a few expressions that move my heart What more do you want from me? I don’t want to feel guilty anymore for being unable to give more than I have
You said it’s packed with meaning but it’s all just empty to me The pointlessness of one sided emotions The difference between wandering and roaming
I’m just a weak person who cries and laughs from a few words, a few gestures or a few expressions that move my heart What more do you want from me? I don’t want to feel guilty anymore for being unable to give more than I have
Evde aslan dışarıda kuzu, güvenli alan patlaması nedir?
“İnsan en çok, kendisini terk etmeyeceğini düşündüklerine sınır ihlali yapar.”→ Bowen, Family Therapy in Clinical Practice (1978) Çevremizdeki bazı insanlar başkasına yapamayacağı davranışı bize gösterirler. Başkasına suskun, bize boşboğaz olabilirler. Evde aslan, dışarıda kuzu dediğimiz bu durum genelde güvenli alan patlaması olarak bilinir. Risk olmayan yerde limitleri zorlamaya daha çok eğilimliyizdir. Ancak bu limitler bazen karşı tarafın sandığı kadar geniş değildir. Güvenli alan patlaması örneği Ali, kardeşleriyle son buluşmasında başkasına yapmayacağı şakaları onlara yapar. Şakadan çıkıp sert ifadelerle onları eleştirir. Kendisine yapıldığında köpüreceği davranışların sakin karşılanmasını umar. İç grup–dış grup ayrımı yaptığı için yakınlığa güvenip saygısızlaşır; çünkü aralarındaki bağın kopmayacağını
