Jonathan Rea’s third place finish during Navarra WorldSBK race two has seen him ಌjoined atop the championship standings by race winner Toprak Razgatlioglu. 

Both riders are o🃏n 311 points following round seven, howe﷽ver, it’s Razgatlioglu who has taken over top spot - results in Rea losing the lead for the first time in 2021. 

While Rea took three podiums from three this weekendꦬ, wor🌄rying signs remain with the Kawasaki ZX10-RR as the six-time world champion had to make front end saves in all three races.

Rea was particularly struggling at turn nine and with stopping the bike, while it a🌠lso seemed considerably more nꦐervous over the Spanish circuit’s bumps compared to the Ducati of Scott Redding and the Yamaha of Razgatlioglu. 

Following race two, Rea added: "Solid weekend really. Those guys were just be🎃tter today. Both Toprak [Razgatlioglu] and Scott [Redding] did an awesome race. 

"I tried to go there for about ten laps but I was just there. It wꦛas ebbing and flowing; I was good in (turns) 4, 5, 6, 7, but as soon as my front tyre started to go I was just losing where they were strong. 

"Then I made a big slide at the last corner. I actually hit some💛thing; there was something hard on the ground like a big screw and I thought ‘ahh that will give Scott a chance’. 

"When he 🌳came through he had much better pace and I couldn’t go with him. Good job to the front two. The competition is really꧂ hot and I’m pushing to my maximum."
