Toprak Leaving Yamaha

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by Adam Bell, May 22, 2023.

  1. News in that he is going to leave Yamaha at the end of the year. to go where though
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  2. I reckon Kawasaki WSBK or Ducati, or maybe Honda
     
  3. There was talk about BMW. Husquavana are starting a team in Moto GP i heard so maybe an option.
     
  4. When you say starting a team in MotoGP, they are owned by KTM, so it will just be the Tech 3 team re-branded like it is now with GasGas

  5. I reckon Ducati … maybe

    Redding to Yam…
     
  6. Hopefully he will make the step up to moto 2 :upyeah:
     
  7. Reckon this is most likely. Redding on the Yam would probably be good, he definitely won't be on a BMW next year, I think Sykes will be back there sadly
     
  8. It has to be Ducati.
    Rinaldis replacement?
     
  9. I will have a tenner with anyone right now that he wont end up at Ducati.
    First come first serve :)
     
  10. Just read Toprak is going to bmw

    what the fuuuu…..

    must be money

  11. Can’t quite believe it! Ducati would have been the only wise move in my opinion! Like Adam says has to be for the dough!
     
    • Agree Agree x 2
  12. Same as Scott though, he is wasted there, getting rich but hardly worth watching anymore and I'm a big fan.
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  13. Completely agree Dib, he surely must think he can do something on the BM though?. I guess we’ll find out now just how talented he is! Trouble is he’s finishing second on the Yam which is the best anyone can do against the Ducati and unless BMW have something extremely special in the pipeline I just can’t see it happening for him!
     
  14. this is absolute MADNESS.... nothing else to say about it.
     
  15. Perhaps we’ll get news on Scott this week then?

    Or is Toprak replacing MVdM?
     
  16. He is only finishing behind AB, he's ahead of all the other Ducatis so Ducati need another rider. Could that be Scott Redding?
     

  17. I wonder if he’ll get as much stick as Redding did when he “went there for the money”.

  18. I cant believe Toprak went there just for the for the money! I believe Scott did and I don’t blame him but he was never going back to GPs so good move but it’s different with Toprak! He’s the rider that everyone wants and I personally believe winning is far more important to him than money!
