Should Toprak really be leaving BMW - hypothetically speaking - who would replace him?

it's 99 %ly not gonna happen, but if he were to win the title and then go to MotoGP with Honda, he'd be impossible to replace. One who could take his ride would be Bassani as a young and fast rider, even though I don't think he'll ever be World Champion. Remy Gardner would be another option, it certainly would be progress towards his Yamaha. Either way, if Toprak were go to Honda (be it MotoGP or WSBK wise), BMW would be doomed. They have a new bike, but is it enough? Could van der Mark and Bassani be a strong duo?
