Razgatlioglu stated on motosan.es that he never dreamed of reaching MotoGP, but rather the WSBK championship. Hence, he only admits considering the premier class of speed motorcycling if he has a chance after being champion:
– It’s not my dream to compete in MotoGP because the feeling in MotoGP is like a galaxy and that’s a long way off for me. I now have a MotoGP port open for me. But I always said that my dream was to be a Superbike champion. But after being a Superbike champion, maybe I have more chances to compete in MotoGP. I’m just focused on being a Superbike champion. After being WorldSBK champion, we’ll see.
