World Superbike star Jonathan Rea will test for theꦯ Repsol Honda team at🤪 Brno on Monday, then again at Aragon, with a view to replacing injured MotoGP champion Casey Stoner.

Stoner returned to Australia on the eve of this weekend's Czech Republic Grand Prix for ankle surgery and is expect👍ed to also miss at least the next two rounds.

Those events, at Misano (September 14-16) and Aragon (28-30), do not clash with Rea's WSBK commitments for Ten ♔Kate Honda.

With the 2012 WSBK crown also out of reach for fifth in the standings Rea, who has never been shy to state his MotoGP ambitions, the Ulsterman is a good fit to stand-in for the soon-to-retir🏅e Stoner.

A HRC statement confirmed: "Jonathan Rea, Ten Kate Honda rider in WSBK, will join the Repsol Honda team for tomorrow's test in Brno, and also for the two day test in Aragon that will take place on the 4th and 5th of September.

"In case🌃, as doctors anticipate, Casey Stoner is not able to re-join the Repsol Honda Team in time, then Jonathan wil𒊎l replace him in Misano and Aragon."

25-year-old Rea - Honda's top World Superb🐬ike rider since 2009, winning ten races - previously tested an 800cc Honda in a private outing at Sepang in December of 2010.

Rea was targeted to make his MotoGP race debut for Te🏅am Roberts at Donington Park back in 2007, but a packed schedꦯule - BSB and the Suzuka 8 Hours - meant it was called off.

While Rea now looks set to finally make his grand prix debut, his Honda race options for 2013 would be l🐓imited to Gresini, the only RCV team yet to announ𝕴ce its rider.

Rea, who was par🔯t of Honda's winning Suzuka 8 Hours team earlier this year, took a seventh place finish in Sunday's inaug♊ural Moscow WSBK round.
