The latest rumour doing the rounds suggested that Toprak Razgatlioglu had signed with Honda; the Turkish rider has set the record straight.

Once again the yearly rumours of Toprak Razgatlioglu to MotoGP had been doing the rounds ahead of the Portuguese World Superbike Round.

The latest rumours suggested that Razgatlioglu, whose BMW deal expires at the end of 2025, would replace Luca Marini in the Honda HRC Castrol squad for the 2026 season.

However, Razgatlioglu has now set the record straight regarding these rumours.

"I haven't signed with Honda, much less will I do wildcards," Razgatlioglu told GPOne.

"Reading all this, I smile, because my brother called me yesterday to ask me about Honda.

"Sincerely, I'd like to know who writes these things and why. It's true that I have an expiring contract with BMW, but for the moment, I haven't spoken to anyone."

Razgatlioglu went on to explain that if he does move to MotoGP next season, then Honda may not be his only option to get into the paddock.

"Only Marini? There's also Yamaha," he said.

"I'm not talking to anyone at the moment, I don't deny that I have a dream of racing in MotoGP, but we'll see what happens. It'll be crucial to have the right direction to follow.

"What's certain is that, in 2027, the rules will change and everything will be new, since Pirelli will also come.

"Now, I have to stay focused on the Superbike and on my BMW, so we'll see about the future.

"We'll definitely have a very competitive Ducati in MotoGP, and I think it'll be strong in 2027, as well."
