Jonathan Rea has taken control of the 2020 WorldSBK Championship after reeling off a trio of victories in six races at the Motorland Aragon, movꩲ꧋ing 36 points clear of Scott Redding.

Though Ducati came into the back-to-back Spanish events considered favourites given its dominance at 🌠the circuit in 2019, Rea nonetheless rode around the Kawasaki’s comparative defici♏t in straight line speed to negate his rivals’ advantage.

Capping off a successful pair of weekends with a superb victory in race two at Aragon following a fierce fight with both Redding anꦍd Michael Ruben Rinaldi, Rea has established a comfortable buffer at a crucial moment witꦍh only three rounds and nine races remaining in 2020.

“We got off to a good start in the Superpole race but when Scott came past quite early it disturbed my rhythm a bit. He set a very good pace. I was strong in the first part of the circuit and although I enjoyed the ten-lap race I re๊alised that today it was going to be second. 

“In race two I realised that instead of managing the race I needed to𒆙 go through, and then I had a huge ‘moment’. I went all 👍in, full gas in that race. You have to ride on 100% but not make any mistakes. 

“It was more a race for me trying to be clean and not making any errors. With the entry speed I could carry and the stopping perform🔥ance from the Ninja ZX-10RR – also how we kept the tyre until the end – I felt like we had a better package.”

Rea’s three wins means he is now only four wins shy of becoming the first person to reach 100 WorldSBK careꦍer victories.
