Never lower than fifth in a full (uninjured) 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike campaign, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea arrives at his home Donington Park round just 14th in tꦜhe standings after a difficult opening four rounds at Yamaha.

The record-breaking six-time world champion has finished in the top six just twice so far this season to be ranked as the fourth best R1 rider behind team-mate Andrea Locatelli (fꦐifth), Remy Gardner (seventh) and Dominique Aegerter (10th).

But could D♊onington be th▨e scene of a much-needed breakthrough?

The Ulsterman took a WorldSBK podium at the trℱack as a Honda rider back in 2010. The first of six home wins🐻 followed in 2013, including a perfect triple for Kawasaki in 2019.

While♕ Rea’s most recent race victory was in 2021, he has been on the podium in five of the last six Donington races.

“I’m really looking forward to Donington, especiaꦓlly after Misano as I’ve had a few weeks to let my wris🐬t injury heal and I hope to be back close to 100% fitness before the weekend,” Rea said.

“It’s a circuit I really enjoy, it’s both my team’s and my own home race so it will be great to have a𓆏 lot of s💯upport there. I’m looking forward to trying to keep building our speed and our pace and work towards being more competitive.

“Like always in the UK, the weather can play 𒉰a part – so I ho♛pe for everyone including the fans that we get to have a good, dry weekend! I’m pretty excited for this one, can’t wait to get started on Friday morning.”

Crew chief and former racer Andrew Pitt added: “Donington Park is one of those tracks where the rider can really 🧸make the difference.

“The Yamaha is quick here beꦦcause it stops well, turns we🔜ll, tyre wear is good and the straights are not too long.

“The first race this bike ever won was here in the UK, so there’s no reason weℱ can’t have a strong weekend.”
