The last two rounds have arguably been Rea’s strongest of the season so far, after winning his first race of 2023 in Most an🐲d showing similar pace to Toprak Razgatlioglu for one of the first times throughout the 2023 WorldSBK campaign.

And with Aragon up next𒊎, a circuit where Rea has enjoyed great amounts of success, the six-time world champion is expecting to be strong once again.

Rea also tested at Aragon during the summer break as ♛he and Kawasaki found a breakthrough regarding the bike set-up.

"Aragon is a really cool track, It’s one that I really enjoy and very challenging for a rider," said Rea. "I have got great memories there from the past and in fact the first ever time⛎ I rode the Ninja ZX-10R was in Aragon andಌ I fondly remember the first laps. 

"I hope to recreate that feeling where I really enjoyed the bike. We had a test th꧅ere during the summer break and it was positive. I felt fast and consistent. 

"Since🍎 the middle part of the season we have started to find some momentum with bike set-up. We have been working wel♌l as a team and we have been able to challenge for podiums. 

"It is important to be strong but💝 also consistent. W♋e have two race weekends on the bounce now and the target is to maximise our opportunities to fight for podiums and continue scoring big points."

While Rea is hopi😼ng to score big, teammate Alex Lowes remains unsure whether he ✱will be in action after suffering a knee injury at Magny-Cours.

Lo🍃wes added: "Aragon is a track that I enjoy and we have done quite a bit of testing there, including a few weeks ago. 

"It𓆏 was a positive test and we had good feelings with the bike. I am hoping I am in a position where I can ride and be competitive at Motorland. 

"I had♍ an operation on my knee last week, so we do not know yet if I am going to b🐬e able to ride. We have not made a final decision yet."
