Jonathan Rea picks out his WorldSBK “career rival”: “It was a frosty relationship”
Jonathan Rea has named Chaz Davies as his “career rival” as he prepares to retire from full-time racing in WorldSBK. Rea and Davies battled for the championship over the span of four seasons from 2015 to 2018, with Rea emerging victorious each time. Despite Davies winning 25 races during this period, he retired at the end of the 2021 season as the rider with the most wins in World Superbike without claiming a title. Rea considers Davies the main rival of his career due to their intense competition and mutual respect on and off the track. The two riders pushed each other to excel, making their rivalry a memorable and defining part of Rea’s Superbike career.
