But that didn’t stop the new Yamaha rider from choosing to jump ship after Topr🌃ak Razgatlioglu decided to leave for BMW.

Razgatlioglu’s move 🥀to the German ꦑbrand was a shock, as he too favoured a new challenge.

But for Rea, an unlikely opportunity to jump onto the second best bike in 2022 and 23, was something he could not tur🌳n down.

Kawasaki has remained strong over the last three years,꧋ however, it’s become clear that Ducati and Yamaha took a step forward.

Talking to WorldSBK about the upcoming 2024 season, his first with Yamaha, Rea said: “I’m really excited. It’s always nice when you ch♌ange colours just to breathe some different air. It’s been rea🐬lly cool.

“I’m really grateful to Yamaha for giving me the opportunity and making me feel so welcome. I’m enjoying the bi❀ke. 

“I’m really enjoying the engine character of the R1. W♎orking with the crew, a completely new crew for me, aside f✱rom my chief mechanic Uri and I knew Davide from a few years back.

“The Yamaha’s a very user-friendly bike, I’m enjoying it and I think it suits my style. It can be ridde💖n in so many ways.

“Y♋ou see how Toprak rode the bike was super aggressive, then you can see how guys like Remy and Locatelli rode the bike; more wheels in line but still super-fast.”

Rea has been strong throughout pre-sea🐼son testing at Jerez and Portimao, as have many riders who have stepped onto new machines.

A test early next week at Phillip Island wi🔜ll be followed by the season-opener at the same venue, where R♒ea will make his official Yamaha debut.
