Jonathan Rea “looking around” – and so is a WorldSBK with a coveted bike
Jonathan Rea’s future in the World Superbike Championship is gaining attention amidst talks of potential MotoGP switches for his rivals Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicola Bulega. Rea, a six-time WorldSBK champion, is reportedly exploring his options for 2026 after an underwhelming stint with Pata Yamaha. Speculation suggests that Rea is actively seeking alternative solutions in the paddock as the silly season heats up. One possibility raised is Rea potentially joining Go Eleven Ducati, who currently have Andrea Iannone on their bike but are evaluating their options due to his struggles and contract expiration. Despite facing challenges this season, a move to Ducati could offer Rea a fresh start and revitalization akin to Scott Redding’s return to the manufacturer.
