Jonathan Rea says a repeat of his 2024 podium at the UK WorldSBK is a “lofty target”.
Jonathan Rea achieved a podium finish for Yamaha in the 2024 UK WorldSBK, but he views repeating that in 2025 as a challenging goal due to his late start and tough qualifying situations. Despite remaining without a podium this season, Rea still sets his sights on a top-three finish at Donington, a track where he has secured five wins in the past. His emphasis on qualifying arises from struggles with one-lap speed this year, affecting his confidence in the rear tire. Rea highlights the importance of building momentum and confidence throughout the weekend, aiming to overcome challenges and achieve success in the mid-part of the season.
