Rea strides towards sixth WorldSBK title with Aragon wins

Jonathan Rea has taken control of t🐻he 2020 WorldSBK Championship after reeling off a trio of victories i🤪n six races at the Motorland Aragon, moving 36 points clear of Scott Redding.
Though Ducati came into the back-to-back Spanish events considered favourites given its dominance at the circuit in 2💝019, Rea nonetheless rode around the K🍰awasaki’s comparative deficit in straight line speed to negate his rivals’ advantage.
Capping off a successful pair of weekends with a superb victory in race two at Aragon following a fierce fight with both Redding and Michael Ruben Rinaldi, Rea has established a comfortable buffer at a crucial moment with o🍬nly three rounds and nine races remaining in 2020.
“We got off to a good start in the Superpole race but when Scott came past quite early it disturbed my rhythm a bit. He set🦩 a very good pace. I was strong in the first part of the circuit and although I enjoyed the ten-lap race I realised that today it was going to be second.
“In race two I realised that instead of managing the race I needed to go through, and then I had a huge ‘moment’. I went all in, full gas in that race. You have🦋 to ride on 100% but not make any mistakes.
“It was more a race for me trying to be clean and not making any errors. With the entry speed I could carry 𓆉and the stopping performance from the Ninja ZX-10RR – also how we kept the tyre until the end – I felt like we had a better package.”
Rea’s three wins means he is now only four wins shy of beco🎃ming the fir🅺st person to reach 100 WorldSBK career victories.
