Toprak Razgatlioglu Calls Sachsenring ‘Special’ as He Prepares to Learn MotoGP Bike There

The Pramac Yamaha rider says his 2014 Rookies Cup win makes the German track personal and he must relearn its tight layout on a 1000cc MotoGP machine.

Overview

  • Razgatlioglu described Sachsenring as a special place because he won there in the 2014 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and has not raced the circuit since.
  • He will ride Sachsenring for the first time on a MotoGP 1000cc bike and says the larger, more powerful machine will demand relearning how the track behaves.
  • Razgatlioglu said recent strong pace at Assen has given him confidence and he plans to keep working closely with his Pramac Yamaha team to find a competitive setup.
  • Yamaha riders disagree on how the track suits the YZR-M1, with Jack Miller saying the tight, left‑handed layout could play to the bike’s strengths and Fabio Quartararo remaining unconvinced.
  • Sachsenring’s short, predominantly left turns and absence from the WorldSBK calendar mean junior-class success does not remove the adaptation challenge for riders stepping up to MotoGP.
