Rea: ‘I saw my last chance to win with Kawasaki’ at Portimao
Jonathan Rea, the six-time WorldSBK champion, was on a superb run of form before the double-header at Portimao. He had achieved nine podium finishes in ten races, including a victory at Most. However, his luck changed when he crashed out in the Superpole Race while attempting to pass Andrea Locatelli. In the second race, Rea caused a collision with Xavi Vierge and Scott Redding, resulting in a penalty. Rea acknowledged his mistakes and expressed regret for ruining Vierge’s race. Disappointed with his performance, he felt that his chances of winning at Jerez were slim. Despite his enthusiasm and desire to win his last race with Kawasaki, it was not meant to be.
