The six-time WorldSBK champion joined Yamaha in a sensational move towards the end of last season, and Jonathan Rea, who has been impressive so far in testing aboard the R1, feels good about where he’s at in his adaptation period.
Rea, who is on-track again today and tomorrow as part of the two day Portimao test, spoke to Crash.net last weekend following the Jerez outing.
When asked whether he agrees with the perception of many that the R1 is a very rider-friendly machine, Rea said: “I think it’s a fair comment to say that it’s a user-friendly bike. It’s a bike that definitely inspires confidence. But Rea, who admits there is pressure in 2024, says it’s not because he’s replacing Razgatlioglu.
“Like most racers you just think selfishly,” began Rea. “I’m always thinking about myself. I don’t I’m replacing him. I’m coming to Yamaha to do my job.
“He had an incredible time with Yamaha but now it is my time. To compare myself or the pressure; the pressure on me is not about Toprak or what he did before.
