Update: Recovery process of Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Munich. BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Factory rider Toprak Razgatlioglu (TUR) is making progress with his recovery. The world championship leader suffered a severe crash during the second free practice session of the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) at Magny-Cours (FRA) last Friday. As a result, he sustained a pneumothorax and was declared unfit for the remainder of the race weekend.

Further examinations at the medical centre at Magny-Cours have now confirmed that the pneumothorax is healing positively. The attending doctors have already cleared Razgatlioglu to travel to Italy, where his treatment will continue with another professional medical team. Italy is also the location of the next WorldSBK round. However, whether he will be able to compete in the races at Cremona remains uncertain. This will depend on his continued recovery and the assessment of Dorna’s medical team before the race weekend.

“We have received good news from France, although Toprak still needs time and rest to fully recover,” said Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport. “We would like to thank everyone at Magny-Cours and the hospital in Moulins who took such good care of Toprak. We will do everything we can to support his positive progress. However, we won’t rush anything, as Toprak’s health is our top priority. He will return to racing when it is possible without any health risks.”
