In the most recent episode of his YouTube vlog, Pata Yamaha WorldSBK rider𓆏 Jonathan Rea has indicated that he will not be racing at Assen in just over one week.

Rea, who has been out of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike action since a crash in preseason testin🌊g in February, was at Portimao last weekend for the second round of the 2025 season.

His YouTube vlog followed him through the weekend, as he filled the media in on the details of his recovery from the multiple left foot fracture he suffered in that aforeme𒉰ntioned Phillip Isla♒nd crash.

At several points in the vlog, R🌄ea references the Italian Round at Cremona Circuit as a possible point for him to return, rather than round three at Assen, with the race in northern Italy taking place three weeks after the Dutch Round on 2–4 May.

“Am I going to be in Assen,” Rea asked himself. ▨“The smℱart money would be no, but I’m not smart, am I?”

He🅷 added, later in the vlog: “I need to be out there. I don’t enjoy bikes that much – I enjoy racin😼g them, I enjoy being competitive.

“I think you’ll gather by now that I’lꦉl not be in Assen which is a real shame. But step-by-step, I’ll keep working hard at home and come back stronger.”

Rea was repla🌃ced by Yamaha WorldSBK test rider and YART Endurance World Championship rider Jason O’Halloran at Portimao.

A brief statement from Yamaha posted to their Instagram Story confirmed that O’Halloran, who is due to taꦜke part in the 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans the week after the Assen World Superbike race, will replace Rea once again in the Netherlands.

“Following consultation with his me🦩dical team earlier this week, we can now confirm that Jonathan Rea will not compete in round three at the TT Circuit Assen,” Yamah🅺a’s statement reads.

“He will again be rep🍨laced in the Pata Maxus Yamaha Team by J꧟ason O’Halloran.”
