Jonathan Rea on 2026 WorldSBK plans: “I don't want to end my career on a low”
Jonathan Rea says he wants to make a decisio💝n on his WorldSBK future “after Donington”.

Jonathan Rea says he doesn’t know what “options” will be available ꧙for him in🐽 WorldSBK in 2026, but that he wants “to be competitive”.
The six-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion is winless since Race 1 at Most in 2023, his l🍷ast win on Kawasaki, and has scored just one podium since he moved to Yamaha at the beginning of last 𒁃year.
Rea’s 2025 preseason looked promising, but a crash in testing in Austral🐷ia saw him su🔜ffer a complicated foot and ankle injury, involving multiple fractures, which left him on the sidelines for the opening races of the season.
Returning at the Italian Round at the begin🦹ning of May, Rea picked up his first points of the seasoꦡn at Most last time out.
But for a rider with 119 WorldSBK race wins to his name, anything les𒐪s than being competitive for race wins will be unsatisfactory, and 38-year-old Rea is sure that, were h😼is career to end now, he would be retiring on a negative note.
“I don't want to end my career on a low,” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea told the German publication Speedweek.
“I want to be competitive. [...] I don't know yet wꦆhat options I'll ha♒ve.
“My idea is that I make a decision after Donington. If n𒅌othing exciting comes up, I'm prepared to stay home.
“But I want to know beforehand how competitive I can be with this bike and my crew. For me, this is unfinished busine�💦�ss.
“The road can go either way: first I have to find out if I'm interested in c♚ontinuing as I do now.
“And Yamaha has to find out if they wanওt to keep me on 🍒board.”
