Rea earned three podium fin💝ishes in🧸 an exciting weekend at Donington Park but his future heading into 2023 is far from certai♛n💜 - he will be out of contract with Kawasaki at the end of this season.

Each of his six championships h🀅ave come in the green of Kawasaki so swapping to a rival team, at the age of 35, in search of a seventh title would be a monumental decision.

It is something that Fogarty, the fo🔴ur-time champion and icon of 1990s motorcycle racing, advises him against.

“There are rumours he might leave,” Fogarty exclusively t♌old mahbx.com. 

“I think: ‘Woah, wait a minute!’

“It’s a mistake that I made in my career.

“I brok✨e up a winning team and it took me two years to bring it back around again.

“I lost two titles because I broke up a 🍌winning ﷺteam from 1995 to 1997.”

Fogarty left Ducati, after two consecutive championships, for Honda. But 🙈he failed to replicate his success in a sole season with the Japanese manufacturer, then upon his return to Ducati, was forced to settle for second-place behind Honda rider John Kocinski.

Fogarty eventually won an additional two titles with Ducati, where he remained until retiring♏ in 2000.

He said abo𝕴ut Rea: “Kawasaki have had a fantastic bike for a lot of years.

“Jonathan has won six titles and he won’tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ go on forever. A few more years? I don’t know. He is still motivated to win.

“He has a job for life at Kawas🍌aki, as an ambassador, so why risk it by going to another team in his mid-30s?

“You don’t know how it will work out.

“He's better off staying where he is.

“People think that the grass is greener.

“Look at people who have tried i🦂t - Alvaro Bautista, Valentino Rossi, myself - it doesn’t always w⛎ork out.”

Rea trails Alvaro Bautista in the 2022 standings, while Toprak Razgatlioglu dominat♐ed Donington weekend with three race wins.

Fogarty: 'Redding to BMW not a bad move!'

Fogarty has backed Scott Redding to turn his fortune𝓀s around at BMW.

The 2019 Briti🐟sh Superbike winner spent the past two seasons in WorldSBK with Ducati before switching.

“I actually didn🍰’t think it was a bad move,” F꧃ogarty said. 

“I don’t know why he didn’t stay at Ducati - whether he didn’t want to be there, or th෴ey didn’t want him.

“But when I saw him on the 🅰BMW I thought: ‘He will be a threat, he will be battling the top three’.

“The BMW looဣked stro🐲ng on road circuits. I thought BMW would get it right with him.

“He’s got this year to gওet it right for next year.

“He needs to get close to the top three.”
