"We have had some really good testing rece🐼ntly, where I have felt good with the bike and it is going to be so nice to get on track with everybody else to understand where ♒we are. 

"Aragon is a track we have very happy memor🏅ies of after last year. We were able to be strong in the Motorland weekend🧜 and the following Teruel round."

The usual season opener of Phillip Island has typically been a happy h𓆏unting ground for Rea, but with a record of five wins and nine other rostrum finishes at Aragon, it can hardly been seen as a bad starting point for the 34 year-old.

Rea alluded to starti🧸ng strong and building up momentum൩ with back-to-back rounds an unlikely situation to begin a season.

Rea said: "The target is to start this year strong and try to build 🅠some momentum into the season. 

"It is going to be a tough couple of weeks in succession with two back-to-back rounds - but kick-starting the racing into action at Aragon is great because we just finis🌳hed testing there. 

"I have a good feeling with the bike. The new Ninja ZX-10RꦉR is definitely ꦗa step forward from last year. I am super-excited about it and I feel ready."
