168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea produced one of his best WorldSBK races since joining Yamaha during 🐓Race 2 of the Czech round.

Making his way through the field as the race went on🤡, Rea de🐭livered some of the best race pace throughout the 22-lap race.

Quick overtakes on both factory Honda riders allowed Rea to close in on Michael Ruben Rinaldi late on, before the six-time world♊ champion pounced with just a couple of laps to go.

Rea, who has struggled in 2024 to find a c⛎lear direction aboard the R1, looked more comfortable battling other riders than at any other ✱stage this season.

T𝐆hat was highlighted at Most, as Rea a❀dmitted previous battles with Toprak Razgatlioglu played a role in his many overtakes in Race 2.

Speaking about the race, Rea said: “ඣI think with seven laps to go, I thought he was just there. Once I got through on the Hondas, I thought ‘don’t g𝔉ive up’. He might come back, he might not. 

"In clean air, the Ya꧑maha can make the lap time; at one point, I feel like I was one of the fastest on tracks. I checked the last few laps. 

"While we have some areas w🍌e need to work on, the bike was w♕orking good in other areas. 

"I knew if I could put my bike in clean air and ri😼de my lines, I could potentially catch him. 

"When I caught him, it was about where 💧I was going to pass! It had to be, not an aggressive one, but a block🦩 pass. You don’t have to go through. 

"I sort of learnt that one on Toprak, racing him in the past. He’d always just level me.&nbs𓄧p;

"Where I 🌠always tended to go through on people and put myself wide, I just levelled a few guys today in a few of the corners and that seem🃏ed to work. 

"I learnt a bit more ꦗabout the Yamaha R1 in tr🧔affic and how to exploit all its strengths.”
