Toprak Razgatlioglu, riding for Yamaha in MotoGP, finished 22nd (1:58.621) on the opening day of the British GP and will start from Q1, 2.341 seconds off leader Marco Bezzecchi. The gap is attributed to ongoing adaptation issues with the Yamaha's characteristics and Michelin tires.
22nd, 2.3 seconds back — that's a tough reality even for a top-tier rookie. Even a rider who's dominated in WSBK can't close the gap on MotoGP tires and machinery overnight. I want to see him climb his way out of Q1 and prove it.

Didn't realize Michelin tires made that much of a difference.
2.3 seconds back isn't unusual for a rookie, honestly.
Hope he claws his way up starting from Q1, don't give up.
Watching a WSBK champion climb back from here is its own kind of interesting.
Being unbeatable in WSBK doesn't carry over to MotoGP, huh.
Yamaha doesn't seem to suit him either, rough season ahead.
