Following his best round of the 2023 WorldSBK season to date, Rea, who was asked pre-weekend about rumo꧋꧃urs linking him with Yamaha, has given a clear update on his future.

Rea won Saturday’s flag-to-flag Race 1 at Most before claiming podiums in the Superpole Racಞe and Race 2.

But when speaking post-race, Rea said his current situation at Kawasaki is not one he’s happy with, th♓us leading to thoughts regarding his🤪 future. 

Rea said: "I'm thinking a lot right now; I am not 100% content in my situation to be honest. I have quite a lot of days of thinking ahead💎 but I don't feel in any rush and there's no panic. 

"It's important at this point of my career and my life, that I make 𝓀a good decision. One that’s right⛄ for me. 

"I'll take my time but before thinking about that, I want to have a beer and enjoy this weekend. I feel like we did a really good job as a team all together. We'll☂ start thinking about 2024 in a coupl♌e of weeks."

Rea is contr🔯acted to Kawasaki until the end of next season, however, it appears as though he could terminate hi🔴s contract early, if both sides agreed to it. 

D⛄uring the Czech round Rea resumed his battle with Danilo 👍Petrucci from Donington Park, as the Italian again got the better of the 36-year-old.

What was a superb last-lap fight between the pair♓ ended with Petrucci getting the better of Rea thank෴s to a move at the final corner.

"I passed Jonny at Turn 1 on the final lap, but he answered me back at😼 Turn 2," said the Barni Ducati rider. "I had a good braking point for Tu෴rn 6 but he was still there and I thought that if I’m going to pass him, we’re both going to crash. 

"I thought third was OK but in the penultಞimate corner, 🅰I saw him struggling so I tried to pass him, then he came back on the line and we did the last corner side by side. 

"He was a gentleman, because with a bit more throttle, he’d hit𒅌 me and put me wide, but he’s a great World 🗹Champion. 

"I owe him at leas💟t two beers next time! P2 is my best result; we need to start better."
