Jonathan Rea identifies “weakest area” on Yamaha and how he overcame it at Czech WorldSBK
Six-time World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea acknowledges his struggle with qualifying on the Yamaha R1, but showed strong performance in last weekend’s Czech WorldSBK.
Rea made impressive starts in all three races, particularly in Race 2 where he quickly climbed into the top-five positions.
However, a double long lap penalty for a first turn incident hampered Rea’s performance, ultimately compromising his race.
Although Rea accepted the penalty, he expressed frustration at its impact on his race while highlighting his enjoyment of the initial battle in Race 2.
Despite facing challenges in qualifying, Rea remains optimistic about improving his pace and track positioning for future races, aiming to be competitive with the front pack in upcoming events such as Misano.
