Jonathan Rea has poured cold water on rumours linking him to a potential MotoGP switc🍬h with Suzuki, saying he’s happy and settled in the World Superbike championship.

Kawasaki's reigning champion moved to the cusp of an historic third consecutive title with a dไouble victory at Portimao and a win in race one next time out at Magny-Cours would be enough to🍎 take the 2017 crown with five races to spare.

Having d🍎ominated the World Superbike championship, Rea has frequently been linked with a potential switch to MotoGP, including recent rumours about a move to the factory Suzuki squad if they we❀re to replace Andrea Iannone.

Although not against the idea of going to MotoGP i🥀n the near future, Rea feels it would need to be with a competitive package that is ‘worth my while’ and played down the Suzuki speculation.

“There has been no off🥃icial communication between me and Suzuki and I am very happy here,” Rea said. “I have a contract for 2018 and so does Andrea Iannone. I presume the speculation is coming from Iannone underachieving but honestly I don’t have anything to say on this.

“I am veryꦑ happy here and my heart is 💛in Superbike.

“The championship suits me very well, I'm on a winning package🅠 and to move to Grand Prix it would have to be on a winning package. It would need to be an exciting project to make it worth my while because I know that I could go there and be ✤in the front group if I had the right package.

“If that opportunity doesn't come I'll h🍃ave no regrets because I'm in a very good place here with Kawasaki.”

Rea’s only previous entry into MotoGP c🌸ame in 2012 as replacement rider for the injured Casey Stoner at Repsol Honda when he finished eighth in Misano and seventh in Aragon.
