Six-time WorldSBK Champion Jonathan Rea says he “always flirts with the idea” of racing motocross.
Pata Yamaha WorldSBK rider Jonathan Rea expressed his interest in racing motocross, mentioning that he often entertains the idea. Despite his history with motocross and occasional rides on Yamaha YZ250, Rea has never raced on dirt during his World Superbike career. He acknowledged the challenges of fitting a motocross race into his racing schedule and ensuring his contract obligations are met.
In an interview at the UK Round in July, Rea shared his thoughts on the dilemma, emphasizing the conflict between his racing instincts and contractual responsibilities. He reminisced about a fun race in Donegal with his son and mentioned considering the Scottish Motocross Championship for a potential future venture. Rea humorously referred to possibly entering the “Vets +40” class due to his advancing age in the sport.
