Pretty hard to believe that last weekend was my 400th WorldSBK start. It's been a hell of a journey.. Finally back on the top step... ! It's been a while hasn't it aye?
What a win from Taz McKenzie! It was so great to see him winning with sliks in the rain. But the best thing was that the 65 was on top of the podium once again!
All time great and a true gentleman. I remember the last WSBK at Brands and Jonathan taking time to speak to the fans. He asked me what I thought the weather was going to do, I’ll always remember that.
What for races those were! Sat on the edge of my seat the whole time. Also makes me think what would happen if the Ninja had 500 more rpms on disposal... Sucker finish to be out dragged to the finish line by Danilo, but he rode the wheels off and deserves to be on the podium. Unbelievable tyre failure to Toprak as he rode the piss off the Yamaha and the rear tire, to keep Bautista at bay. He deserved to win that race, for sure. Spectacular weekend that hopefully reignited the spirit of whole team, and cannot wait for next round. The championship is out of reach for us, but for the next year, I expect Ninja to be on par with power with rest of the field and to see you troop towards another championship win. 400 starts is unbelievable, to remain on top, but I'm sure cheering to a hundred more! Jonny the G.O.A.T.!
Jonny, we said hello in Salt Lake City @ Miller's in 2011 when you were with Ruben Xaus on the Honda. I have followed your maturation into a 6x WSBK CHAMPION and to see you achieve 400 starts is simply amazing and a testament to your durability. I wish you the best as you make the change to Yamaha as the Zedex just doesn't seem to be the leader of the pack anymore. Cheers & a beer from this side of the pond, mate. Thanks for the YEARS of enjoyment watching you flog the living F outta of a Superbike!
Communication between rider , team and factory is essential. To me it sounds like they're doing something for 2024 . Rev limit increase , head design to be capable of using the revs . Communication, communication, communication. Go hard Jonny .
You all needed that win, it's been a tough year for everybody. Lots of thinking to do about your life, racing and family. Why not make a vlog about your thought process and how you are going to make your decisions. Appreciate you may not be able to air it for several months (or ever!) but it would be the ultimate BTS vlog as you ponder which path your life will take as a professional athlete/rider with all the sacrifices that entails. Good to see you on top again.
Much better results, finishing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the races...I'm sure that felt great for you and Team Green after a long dry spell. And reaching 400 starts...what a milestone! What's really great is you look fit enough for 400 more. Congrats and enjoy your summer break with your family! 👍😎
Brilliant again Jonathan 👏, fantastic to see the whole team heading in the right direction and as always clever riding and pushing by you. It looked a cracking bunch of races on the telly, really chuffed for you. Have a great break 👊💥👍
Nejlepší den v životě, osobně jsem se setkal s Johnym a dokonce měl tu čest se s ním vyfotit. Celé to bylo vylepšené tím, že Johny dokázal vyhrát. Moc děkuji za setkání a zážitek. Jen tak dál, jsi pořád nejlepší GO JR65 💚🏍🏁
por favor no te vallas de kawasaki, pelea para que SBK vuelva con el reglamento a devolverles lo que le quito a las carreras de motos... la EVolucion de una fabrica de motos (6 campeonatos!) y el Talento que tu tienes; te mando una acelerada al corte ratatatatatatatatatatatatataum ratatatatattaum! JONY! y cuando vengas a Argentina te espero con unos buenos mates con facturas !
I hope you stay and retire in Kawasaki mate, it would be really sad see you go. I hope Kawasaki keep you happy there, so you at the end of your career even can stay as advisor, ambassador or something. Kind of what Mercedes is doing with Hamilton, that dude began there and will finish there with all his championships at home. Congratulations for the 1st , 2d and 3d place Johnny ! You totally are the best.
Rea are you leaving KRT I can’t blame you I bleed Green but if they can’t give you the weapon to fight you have to do what you need to do for your family .but just don’t go to Ducati they cheat Yamaha is the best bet and that bike is giving Ducati a run for there money .this all Kawasaki fault for not keeping up just think if the bike good enough you may have won 8 WSBK championship I look forward to next year go get them Goat of WSBK
switching to yamaha might be a good decision but i would love to see you on a ducati..... still, if you choose to stay in kawasaki i hope they give you a new bike with a new engine, you've gave them 6 in row...
from what I can see, Kawasaki already has the zx-10r listed as the 2024 model on their website. so I assume no new evolution to the bike... but maybe with the 500 revs back and whatever else Kawasaki is waiting on, that will put the bike back where it needs to be, or as it was originally intended in 2021 before Dorna stepped in :P . For the record, Kawasaki hasn't started using the additional 500 revs they got back through concessions. Even Rea said he doesn't understand it.
@@Mechashiva76yah Kawasaki hasn't started using 500 revs but u know its not just about revs and engine power. They need completely new bike. Current ZX10RR is now old.
@@Mechashiva76 ducati had a similar problems with the panigale R before and they have no choice but to go with new the V4 layout... so i think there are only two ways for the Kawasaki, either: Release a base bike zx10rr with the same engine but with higher revs and other bits needed to match the competition Or Design a whole new engine with bigger bore and bigger valves compared to the current to match the power, updated electronics and retain the same chassis.. The trick ducati pulled off with the V4R is they made the base bike powerful enough so that they have more room to work on tuning it for racing and not be limited with the WSBK rules..
Wow! Lots of support here for Rea. "Not 100% content with things at present" Though it seems. Could level that at 90% of racers currently, Some of them way better than you Going to walk halfway through a 2 year contract with the Team that helped you "Win" 6 titles? Nothing like loyalty when the goings gets tough eh? Really think you are better than Toprak, Because if he cannot beat Bautista don't see how you will tbh.... But time will tell I guess.......
@@NudaMan He is not winning and He also has never won the MotoGP class. Rea is multiple world Superbike champion and paid very well. As I said if he moved earlier he had a slight chance in Motogp.
@@classicraceruk1337 you are right! I have faith in JR65 completely and I’m glad Kawasaki focused on WSBK vs motogp and look what they have accomplished

Best world championship rider content on RUclips right now. Period.
A win is a win.. dont put it down.. even a dry race ya have to have the settings the right tyres etc etc same in a wet race... you won champ 🏆 🎉

Bravo Jonathan Rea & Team Kawasaki!!!🤩👍👍👍👍
What a weekend! Fantastic effort from the whole of Team Green. Great to see you and Taz grab the opportunity. I'm still buzzing. 😊
Cheeky wee comment for the algo’ 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻💪🏻 always enjoy the insight mate.
Great win Johnny, your determination is unmatched 🔥

CONGRATS JOHNNY!!!!!!!!!!! How bad was your tire blistering compared to Toprak's, if you don't mind me asking?
Yamaha !! 😁😁😁
My mate won some money at the bookies after your win. 🎉
Rea retiring depends ,rain or dry track.
Sign my KRT tank please Jonny next time your home and put a smile on Lawrence at #colerainekawasaki face!! Please 🙏🏻

@@Mechashiva76u r right Kawasaki has already listed 2024 model. As per i know, zx10rr 2024 is base road going version of Jonny's current bike.

Johnny eres un buen piloto,pero tu época terminó,como terminó la de Doohan,Rossi o Marquez,6 mundiales,no está mal
what needs to happen in all series is bikes limited , they are to close to F! and far to much money in aerodynamics etc
Why you never go to mgp?
Fue piloto suplente dos carreras cuando Dani Pedrosa se lesionó en 2012 o 2013,creo que quedó sexto o séptimo,así que lo hizo bien,pero en Honda
Rea has been in MotoGP with 2 starts and two points finishes. I can’t see anyone offering him a MotoGP ride anymore, he is two old, unfortunately.
@@classicraceruk1337 lol say that to esparago on aprilia, dudes like 40 something still in GP 😂
@@NudaMan He is not winning and He also has never won the MotoGP class. Rea is multiple world Superbike champion and paid very well. As I said if he moved earlier he had a slight chance in Motogp.
