While technically still a rookie just three races into his MotoGP career, Toprak Razgatlioglu has already made a big impression with fans and other riders in the paddock. At the USA Grand Prix, he picked up his first championship point, and at times throughout the season he has run as the top Yamaha rider - even ahead of former World Champion Fabio Quartararo.

In an interview with TNT Sports after the COTA race, Toprak was asked to name his three favourite tracks to race on, and here were his picks:

"Portimao, [...] I many times win there, and also I really love to, after the win, to jump into the pool," he said.

The Portuguese track is known as being extremely challenging but also a lot of fun due to its massive elevation changes and high-speed, sweeping corners. Up next, Toprak went for a slightly more historic option:

"Magny-Cours, this is my first win in the world championship, that's why I really like Magny-Cours."

Then finally, Toprak picked one of the UK's legendary circuits to round out his top three tracks:

"Donnington Park, I don't know but I love this track because it is like a roller-coaster style," he said, "You don’t see some corners. Normally, I like those corners and this track as I’m normally strong there, and many times win also with Yamaha and different brands."

Toprak's responses showToprak Razgatlioglu names favourite tracks as MotoGP rookie makes early impression that he is not just another rookie in the paddock, but already has a wealth of experience and plenty of wins to his name already. So far, he has struggled to adapt to MotoGP initially, but is performing well considering Yamaha's current development struggles.

Fabio Quartararo has been increasingly ruthless this year towards Yamaha's performance, with the latest tirade appearing to show a more 'toxic' side to the relationship which brought him the 2021 World Championship. Read all about his recent comments here.
