Yet, the factory Yamaha star, who was taken out of Race 🍃2 by Ale✅x Lowes, was hoping for more than two top six finishes from the weekend.

“Certainly, I expected to be much more comp✱etitive but a sixth and a fifth, I got taken out in the last race but it’s racing,”began Rea. “What really sucks is that we’ve got four days testing planned but due to the resting restrictions, I can’t use all the days and we have to be clever with how we budget that too.

“I need time on the bike, the crew and the crew needs tim🐠e to understand. We need to make steps forward with the bike in all areas; a chassis point of view, electronics and step by step, understand each other more.

“At Assen, I understood the feeling but riding the♒ R1 round here, it’s really nice but like a completely d💮ifferent track.

“Different gear patterns at different corners but as you c🔜ould see with ‘Loka’ and Remy, they did a really good job, so I just need to find that last bit of being competitive.

“To be competitive and win, I think we nee🌊d to make a step as a team, manufacturer and a rider myself, everyone has to take responsib♐ility for that.

“When you see how serious manufacturers are taking World Superbike, I feel l꧅ike we neeꦦd to take that next step now.”

Rea’s former team-mate Lowes was a clear contend🤪er for the podium in Race 2 after stealing third place away from Remy Gardner at the final corner in the Superpole Race.

But the Kawasꦏaki rider made a poor start and was ꦓplaying catch-up prior to losing the front-end at turn one.

Speaking about the incident, Lowes said: “Jonny was doing the opposite to me in terms o꧋f he had a good s꧑tart and was coming back whereas I struggled and went back at the beginning before coming back into it later on.

“Our bike’s been working great but it’s not the easiest to pass people on as we haven’t got the🅺 best acceleration.

“I go𝕴t a really good run off the last coꩲrner compared to Jonny and broke later to try and pass him.

“Turn 1 was the best chance to pass but it’s easy for both to go wide ꦦor I go wide and then the other rider passes you back.

“So I tried to stop the bike a bit more at the apꦐex so as not allow him back through but as it got tighter, I crashed, all by myself but because I was passing him, where could he go?

“So, he hit me as he had nowhere to go; I di🍎dn’t smash into him or⛎ anything like that.

“It would’ve been another good chance for a solid performance but it was a mistake tryin🌱g to pass.”
