SBK, Toprak surprises everyone and takes the new BMW to the track at Jerez

Toprak Razgatlioglu has finally been able to complete his first laps with the new BMW M 1000 RR, taking to the track on a day of testing in Jerez. Accompanied by his teammate Michael van der Mark and test rider Sylvain Guintoli.

It was a long-awaited moment for the Turkish rider, who got to get in on the action by sporting the #1 plate on the fairing of his BMW for the first time. To get to grips with the bike with which he will be called upon to defend his title, in the upcoming World Superbike season.

A very important first contact also for the Bavarian manufacturer, for which it was essential to be able to accumulate before Christmas some basic information on which to set up the winter work. Given that the rain had decided to mess up the team's plans in recent weeks, leading to the cancellation of the test planned in Aragon just before EICMA.
