OMG Racing has announced it has terminated Gino Rea’s contract with immediate effective ahead of the 2019 Benn✤etts British Superbike championship.

The British rider made his BSB debut with OMG Suzuki this year and gradually built up his results as the campaig🐼n progressed ending in a seventh ꦍplace at Silverstone.

Despꦏite having re-signed for 2019, the two parties have split just one week before a winter test at Cartagena due to “a conflict of inter🦂est”, according to a team statement.

“Gin🍬o has helped OMG to develop into a sta♔ndout team and a crowd favourite during our first year as a British Superbike team, we cannot thank him enough for his hard-work and professionalism across the 2018 season,” the OMG Racing statement said.

“He has delivered the team with many memorable moments, includingꦏ topping the first prꦰactice session at Assen and a fantastic ride to 7th place at Silverstone.

“We are disappointed to be losing a talented rider but fully support Gino💃’s further aspirations in the paddock. Gino will always remain a part of the OMG Family and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. We ask our supporters that the privacy of the ♚team and of Gino is respected in this period.”

OMG Racing Suzuki had expanded its BSB efforts to a two-rider line-up for 2019 having signed Luke Moss💛ey alongside Rea earlier this month.
