MotoGP journalist Mat Oxley says Toprak Razgatlioglu has concluded it would be 'stupid' to risk injury pushing Yamaha's underpowered V4 YZR-M1 and its problematic front tyre. Razgatlioglu finished dead last in P20 at the British GP Sprint and trailed Jack Miller by 11.852 seconds in fourteenth in the main race. KTM test rider Pol Espargaro even called the pair's weekend 'embarrassing.'

P20 at the British GP — that's a result 'embarrassing' doesn't even cover. But I know from the tip of my own throttle finger: forcing a bike whose front end is done for is basically suicide. Toprak's a three-time world champion. If protecting his body means holding back until next season, that's the right call. Watching from the inside, that restraint is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Espargaro calling it 'embarrassing'... that's harsh

Better to hold back and adjust to the bike than crash trying too hard, I think

Vinales made the same switch and he's getting results, the gap's way too big

Back in the day he'd have just crashed and burned, holding back is the modern move

Still, he'll come back strong next season, still believe in Toprak's riding

20th is rough, can't believe a WSBK champ is sinking this bad

14th in the race too, 11.852s behind Miller, the numbers are brutal
