Toprak Razgatlioglu's arrival in MotoGP with Yamaha and the Pramac team next year has unleashed the fandom, between those who are betting on the Turk in the premier class and those who have more doubts. It's not just 'normal' fans who are talking about the news, but also champions like Jorge Lorenzo, who has tied much of his career to the Iwata-based manufacturer.
