Toprak Razgatlioglu Takes Stunt Antics to Next Level With Pitstoppie

Toprak Razgatlioglu, along with producing dominant performances in WorldSBK over the last few years, has become one of the most electric riders to watch when it comes to stunts.

This latest one involving his BMW team-mate Michael Van Der Mark and members of his team will leave your jaw firmly on the ground as he managed to hold a stoppie for several seconds as Van Der Mark and his team made a rear tyre change.

Don’t believe me, watch the clip below to see it in full.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend as though the members of his BMW team didn’t hold the bike in place while the pitstoppie took place, but still, I mean come on, it is still seriously impressive.

Razgatlioglu has shown on many occasions that he’s more than just a brilliant racer and if you put him up against the best stunt riders in the world, he would more than likely hold his own.

Razgatlioglu sealed his second WorldSBK title in 2024 as he got the better of Ducati and Nicolo Bulega in particular, something he was unable to do for two consecutive seasons. Since Alvaro Bautista’s return to Ducati in 2022, wins were at a premium for anyone else on the grid.

But a new combined rider/bike weight in 2024 meant Bautista, who is one of the smallest and lightest riders on the grid, needed to find six kilos in ballast which was one of the contributing factors as to why he struggled for wins in 2024.

Razgatlioglu, who was in his first season with BMW, had no such issues as he not only won his first title since 2022, but it was the German brand’s first WorldSBK title.

That wasn’t the only history Razgatlioglu managed to make as he broke the most wins in succession record which had been held by his great rival Bautista.
