Jonathan Rea: “No regrets joining Yamaha - I can see the light, but…”
'I came for a different challenge in my꧟ career, and I’ve certainly found that'

Six-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea insists he has༺ ‘no regrets’ about leaving Kawasaki🦋 for Yamaha, despite a torrid start to his R1 career.
The 37-year-old arrives for his ‘home’ Donington Park round with a best finish of fifth place and hav🦋ing scored points in only five of the 12 races this season.
That has left the record 119-time race winner only 14th🌜 in the stan🦩dings, as the fourth-best Yamaha rider.
Meanwhile, former team-mate Alex ✅Lowes 🦩has taken Kawasaki to fourth in the world championship, with two victories.
“Of course, I d🌠on’t regret any decision coming to Yamaha,ꩲ” Rea told .
“I think I came for a different challe💫nge in my career, and I’ve certainly🅰 found that.
“We sayᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ in English, ‘you’re always looking for the light at the end of the tunnel’ in difficult moments. I can sꦗee the light, but I’m nowhere near there yet.
“I know we’re going to find that way. As a racer, you♏ want it tomorrow. Maturity has told me let’s ride this way a⛎nd it’s going to come.”
Big accidents have hampered Rea🤪’s adaptation to the blue machine, most notably in the opening round at Phillip Island.
“Unfortunately, Phillip Island started the year horribly with a huge crash in the te🅷st and finished the weekend with another huge crash.
“That sucked a lot of energy. I was quite injured. I didn’t speak to🔯o much but it was my leg and shoulder. I just took some time to recover 🍷from that physically and mentally.
“I wouldn’t say I was broken, but I was really frust♔rated. All the 🍬positive things we’d worked towards in the winter had been destroyed in one weekend.”
The Ulsterman insi💛sts the situation has been improving, and a wet pole position at Assen was a welcome boost, but 🔯progress is slower than he’d like.
“From the first race of the year, we’ve been making progress. It wou♋ld’ve been horrible i🎃f I started out with a race win and the season went the opposite way!
“The trend of the Championship is a positive one. We’re making slower progress than we want. Assen was a good weekend for me. It was the first time I rode the R1 in 🔥the wet.
“Pole position was a nice reward for me and all the team, to have a little lift in the project; it’s been tough, but I came 🎉here to try to win races and compete for podiums.”
Looking ahead, Rea acknowledges he is still ‘quite far’ from claiming his 120th WorldSBK♔ win, saying he 🎃‘loves’ the bike but lacks some trust in it.
“My dream is to win a race. I feel qui✃te far from that right now, but step by step we’re getting closer.
“I need to understand my bike riding on the limit. I lo🌌ve the bike, right from the first moment I rode it, I loved everything.
“At race speed, there’s a few area🎉s of my confidence and trust in electronics, some things that aren’t falling into place right now.
“The Championship’s so strong right now that when 🌟everything isn’t completely lined up to ride on that level, I have nဣo feeling; no real confidence to do that.
“I know what I need to do, but it’s just working with my cꦬrew to do that. I have to adjust my style, but I think, now, I need to keep my way and try to make this bike fit my style well.
“When the rider doesn’t 100% feel or have confidence, it’s really hard to make the differ𝄹ence.
“Once I’ve managed that,ꦛ I’m sure I’ll be able to be there, competing with, at the very least, the other Yamaha riders.
“I think we have a really good base to fight with the top guys when everything’s together. The good thing is I feel there’s a lot of room to 🦋improve.
“I’m looking forward to unharn🦋essing all the potential.”
Opening practice at Don🌠ington Park takes place on 🐎Friday morning.
