Toprak Razgatlioglu Opens Up on Why He Skipped the Moto3 Career Path — PHOTO — TMCBLOG / © TMCBlog↗ View original

WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu, now racing for Pramac Yamaha in MotoGP for 2026-27, has explained why he never went through Moto3 despite competing in the Red Bull Rookies Cup in 2014.

Sergio Higuchi关于Racing · MotoGP的点评

I struggled with small-displacement bikes myself back in the day. On a lightweight 250, a taller rider's center of gravity never quite lines up, and you burn nerve just getting through a corner from entry to exit. Skipping Moto3 for Superbike, where Toprak won three titles, was the right call. Still, seeing a guy with that much winning instinct struggle in MotoGP shows how high the category wall really is.

Height not suiting Moto3 is an old story, feels late to bring up now.

Skipping both 250s and Moto2 straight to SBK then MotoGP is a weird route.

SBK-to-MotoGP jumps rarely work out, kinda worried honestly.

Struggled in 250s but becomes SBK champ? Absolute monster.

Blaming his height feels like an excuse, wasn't he just not fast enough?
