Rea eventually crossed the line in eighth place, one spot behiꩵnd team-mate Andr﷽ea Locatelli. 

“We couldn’t capitalise on the track position, starting on the front row. I s🍬truggled from the get-go with rear traction," said Rea following t🥂he race. 

"The bik🌌e was almost the same, same tyre choice, same everything. Right from the get-go, I had no entry or exit traction. 

"I was struggling compared to Race 1 and the Superpole Race, so that’s🀅 somethi𓄧ng to look into. 

"I haven’t had a chance to look into any of the data or the tyre pressu🐈res or anything like that, but something wasn’t right. 

"I was slip-sliding around with my teammate and ‘Loka’ did a great job. He was at the front of the group and it’s always hard to lead at Donington, so I just gritted my teeth as long as I could, tried not to make any mistakes.&nb🐟sp;

"Petrucci and Bautista camp 💫past. Disappointed to finish the weekend like that but overall, we can take some positives into Most.

Speaking about Rea's performance, Pata Prometeon Yamaha team principal Paul Denning added: “It’s no secret how tough the start to the year’s been fo🐠r Jonathan and his side of the garage. 

"We changed a few things this weekend just in thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ🅷e way of working and reset our targets, to be honest, a lot lower. 

"The first target was to be top Yamaha, try to compete for the podium and try and get there step by step rather than trying to💦 make big jumps and making big mistakes, whether that’s in 𒊎the team or JR on track. 

"To gꦺo from eighth on the grid to third on the first lap a🅰nd have such a great pace, that’s a really big step.”
