Toprak Razgatlıoğlu si conferma Campione del Mondo WorldSBK 2025!

Jerez de la Frontera. Missione compiuta: difesa del titolo riuscita. Toprak Razgatlıoğlu (TUR) è ancora una volta Campione del Mondo nel Campionato Mondiale FIM Superbike (WorldSBK) 2025! Con il terzo posto conquistato nella seconda gara principale del drammatico finale di stagione a Jerez de la Frontera (ESP), “El Turco” si è assicurato il titolo iridato. Si tratta del suo secondo titolo mondiale consecutivo come pilota ufficiale di BMW Motorrad Motorsport, in sella alla BMW M 1000 RR del ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, e del terzo titolo WorldSBK della sua carriera (2021, 2024, 2025).

Dopo l’eccezionale trionfo nel campionato 2024, Razgatlıoğlu si è presentato nella stagione 2025 come il grande favorito. Tuttavia, dopo una fase di test invernali in cui la BMW M 1000 RR ha dovuto essere adattata in tempi brevi alle nuove modifiche regolamentari, l’inizio della stagione si è rivelato più impegnativo del previsto.

Nonostante la tripletta conquistata nel secondo round a Portimão (POR), non sono mancati alcuni ostacoli, e Razgatlıoğlu si è ritrovato a inseguire il pilota Ducati Nicolò Bulega (ITA). A metà stagione, però, nel mese di giugno, “El Turco”, BMW Motorrad Motorsport e il ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team hanno ribaltato le sorti del campionato. A Misano (ITA), Donington Park (GBR), sul nuovo Balaton Park Circuit (HUN) e a Magny-Cours (FRA), il pilota turco ha vinto tutte le gare, realizzando quattro triplette consecutive e conquistando la leadership nella classifica generale.

Ha poi festeggiato la sua prima vittoria assoluta a MotorLand Aragón (ESP), eguagliando il proprio record del 2024 di 13 vittorie consecutive. Dopo altri successi e numerosi podi, ha infine conquistato il titolo mondiale 2025 con 616 punti, 13 in più di Bulega.

Il compagno di squadra Michael van der Mark (NED) ha concluso il suo ultimo weekend da pilota WorldSBK con altre solide prestazioni nella Top 10. Dopo cinque anni nel ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team (2021–2025), continuerà a far parte della famiglia BMW Motorrad Motorsport. Già martedì, a Jerez de la Frontera, tornerà in sella alla BMW M 1000 RR con il BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Test Team, per preparare la stagione 2026 del Campionato Mondiale Superbike. 

Le reazioni al termine della stagione.

Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW Motorrad: “Congratulations to Toprak and the entire team! This season, everyone has shown what true champions are made of. The first races weren’t easy, but for everyone – especially for Toprak – the attitude was clear: stand up, straighten your crown, and keep going. And what a way they kept going! The winning streak that began in Misano was simply breathtaking. Even on the nerve-racking final Sunday here in Jerez, after the unfortunate retirement in the Superpole Race through no fault of his own, everyone stayed completely focused and prepared everything perfectly so that Toprak could seal the deal in race two. The reward is Toprak’s well-deserved second World Championship title on our BMW M 1000 RR. We are incredibly proud of him and of everyone in the team, in Munich and Berlin, whose hard work made this achievement possible.”

Toprak Razgatlioglu, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team: “I am very happy and smiling. To get the title was very important for me. This was my last year with BMW and in the Superbike Paddock. It is a great gift to BMW before I leave for MotoGP. In the end we are World Champions. At the beginning of the season, we were not so strong but we improved with every race. Thanks to the entire team and BMW for all this hard work. It is not me being the World Champion, it is us. Looking back onto this final weekend: Everything went very well yesterday especially and today I came to the track more relaxed. I just needed to finish the Superpole Race within the top seven but we crashed in turn five. I know this is racing and everybody wants to pass. It is that he (Nicolò Bulega) just hit me and I crashed. After that I just stayed calm and focused on race two because I needed to do a good job there. I just focused on achieving the best possible position. I started the race not pushing too hard but I worked my way to the front step by step and in the end, we were on the podium. To be World Champion again is a great feeling and I want to thank everyone who was part of this journey.”

Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport: “I am very happy – and speechless. It is such a great day. I think that after the Superpole Race, we all aged by ten years. The job the team did was amazing. The bike was pretty damaged and to work under that pressure to get it ready for race two was incredible. Everybody stayed calm, and I think this was in the end the key for us to win the title. The second title in a row – we are happy for Toprak, for the team, for BMW Motorrad. Toprak wrote history for BMW. It was wild ride together and we are sad that it’s over but we will cheer for him next year. And we are also so thankful for everything that Mickey has done for us. We had difficult years, also with injuries but he was always loyal to us. And he has played an important part in winning these two title in both years. We are really looking forward to continue working with him. What we are going to do, we will announce soon. But for now – we are going to have a big party tonight, and from tomorrow on we fully focus on the 2026 WorldSBK season with Danilo Petrucci and Miguel Oliveira.”

Christian Gonschor, Technical Director BMW Motorrad Motorsport: “I can‘t describe how I feel because it was an incredible day. A few hours with a lot of emotions, ups and downs, everything happened. But at the end for sure to see Toprak back on the podium, celebrating the second world championship for us, for BMW, makes me very proud and the whole project, the whole team, everybody involved. So it’s a fantastic day to complete a fantastic. At the end the key for any success in sport is always focus and teamwork. We listened to the riders, we looked into our package and tried to be focused to learn from the situation when we were not fast enough to beat our competitors. And with the focus of the riders, of the crew and all our technicians in Munich, we managed to turn the page. Thank you to Toprak, who is an incredible person on and off the track, thank you to Mickey, who did so much for us since he joined in 2021, and thank you to the entire team! A very personal thank-you also goes to my wife Katherina and my kids, who are always a source of support for me.”

Shaun Muir, Team Principal ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team: “My feelings are really tough to put into words. We woke up feeling super, super positive, but as we always know anything can happen in racing and it actually did in the sprint race. I’ve just got to put my hands together and praise the good work the guys did. The entire team stayed focused. In the end Toprak is a three-times World Champion, and two times with BMW. I am absolutely over the moon, proud as you can be, of everyone involved and the lot of hard work everybody did.

Michael van der Mark, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team: “It has been a nice weekend. I have for sure some mixed feelings about my races, especially race two I didn’t enjoy as much as I wish I did. But you know it’s racing and I think after today we have a lot of things to be happy about with the team. It has been a strange season. The start of the season was a bit weird with the last minute changes in regulations and stuff like that. Especially my side, I struggled quite a lot with the bike honestly. Also at one point, mentally it was difficult and I just could not find any progress. That has been tough. But we always kept working, the team always kept working and I think towards the end of the year I did the Suzuka 8 Hours, got my confidence back and then when I came back I had the speed again and I felt more confident with the bike. I think Toprak showed again how special he is and he so deserves the title. He and the entire team deserve the title. Time went fast, and I enjoyed my time in WorldSBK. I have six wins here and podiums. Now I have exactly one day off and on Tuesday I will start with the test team to improve the package for next year for Danilo and Miguel.”
