However, the Kawas🧸aki rider went down again on day two﷽ at ‘Miller corner’, this time during a crucial race run.

But while Re𝔍a was unable to finish his feat🥂ure race simulation, the Kawasaki rider was pleased with the overall performance after feeling as though enough pace was shown to put him in contention this weekend.

"Today we tried a 2022 spec bike versus the 2023 spec bike in the afternoon session," said Rea. "There are positives and negatives with both bu♋t I preferred to stick with the 2023 bike. Unfortunately, doing a race simulation, on about lap 14, I got caught out in Turn Four. 

"The wind was very gusty and it was coming in strongly from the sea, and I was pushing at my limit - clearly. ♔;

"I had very positive sensations during that long run and I was able to stay in the 1’31 laps times. That pace is where I ne🌟ed to be to fight for the podi𒆙um. 

"After that we tried the SC0 ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrear tyre because Pirelli asked me to do a longer run to evaluate how it would perform in the Superpole race. Our tyre performance was good and from an electronics point of view I am really happy with the steps we have made inside the team."

After struggling with bumps around the Phillip Island circuit on day one, Rea alluded to steps forward being made🃏 which allowed him to be more ♊comfortable aboard his ZX-10RR. 

Rea added: "I am more sa🍌tisfied with the bike than yesterday. Clearly there is potential with the new bike a🐎nd we have to keep working to extract that potential. 

"We have made a step compare꧑d to last year, I feel. For race weekend, I feel we can fight for the podiu🍬m."
