Pata Yamaha’s Toprak Razgatlioglu stormed the WorldSBK vote just as he did the championship title for 2021.

The young pretender surpassed his ex-mentor, Kawasaki’s Jonathan Rea, by securing almost three times as many votes to be named bikesportnews.com’s WorldSBK rider of the year.

Scott Redding came in third, much as he did in the championship standings, as he departs Aruba.it Ducati with rookie superstars Andrea Locatelli and Axel Bassani tying for fourth. GRT Yamaha's Garrett Gerloff was fifith.
