Navarra WorldSBK: Rea: Idea is to factor in some ideas we tried at previous test

Jonathan Rea is hoping to use a previous test at Navarra as a reference for this weekend’s inaugural round at the Spanish circuit; ‘Unlike Most we have actually had a test there a couple of months ago. My rhythm and pace was pretty good.”

With WorldSBK heading to the second of it’s first-time r🦄ounds in 2021 this weekend, championship ꦐleader Jonathan Rea will be hoping better results come his way compared to Most. 

The Czech round was Rea’s worst of the season from a results point of view after suffering a cras༺h in race one. 

But with that said, It was far from a bad weekend as the six-time world champion managed to🎉 clinch his 200th podium thanks to P3 in the Superpole and race two. 

Most was a completely new experieꩲnce for all the riders as no prior testing went ahead, however, most teams have experience of t✃he Navarra circuit after booking private tests in the pre-season - Kawasaki being one of them. 

Rea was pa💜rt of a two-day test in Barcelona last week and aims to factor in ‘some ideas we tried’ during the Navarra weekend.

Rea sa🐎id: "It is nice to go to Navarra, another new circuit for us. Unlike Most we have actually had a test there, a couple of months ago. 

"I enjoyed the track but it seemed quite bumpy then. Now it seems the circuit have addressed so💟me of the problems we faced. 

"My rhythm and pace was pretty good there so I am quite curious to see, with everybody on track, how com🔯petitive everyone will be. I feel that with our Ninja ZX-10RR we can be strong. 

"The idea is to start on Friday with a base set-up but also factoring 🅷in some ideas we tried at a previous test at Barcelona. I am excited for that and the aim is to have a really good race weekend."
