Worldsbk legend Jonathan Rare announces withdrawal

Norwegian pilot Jonathan Rare He announced Monday that he will retire from the competition at the end of the 2025 season of the Motul Fim Superbike World Championship, the 264 Podium 6,300 point score record, the most successful pilot in six world titles, which won six consecutive world titles between 2015 and 2019.


“After an unforgettable trajectory at WorldSBK, I have decided to leave a full-time race at the end of this season. It was an incredible experience filled with satisfaction, challenge and memories that I will remember forever. Through a Yamaha Racing statement, it is time for Johannee Rea to close this chapter in worldsbk,” said Joanne Rea.

REA started as a motocross pilot before moving at speed. Rea made her debut at Portimao’s Worldsbk in her only full season with Worldsp at Hannsprese Ten Kate Honda. The exit from the front row and fourth place showed their potential, and in 2009, full seating was secured alongside the Dutch team and Honda executives. In five campaigns on the CBR1000RR, Rea achieved 15 wins and 42 podiums.


In 2015, Rea went to the Kawasaki Racing Team. And then in the ZX-10RR, which won the title with Tom Sykes in 2013, he began writing legend on his sixth consecutive title, 104 wins and 221 podiums with Kawasaki. When his territory began to be answered by Toplac Razgatrioguru and Alvaro Bautista, he looked for new challenges and changed Yamaha’s Kawasaki.

In 2024 he occupied the remaining place by “The Turk” Razgatlioglu, who went to BMW, but it was a very complicated year and was marked by an injury. He could not conquer victory. The Donington Park podium is already 38 years old and it was decided it was time to close the stage as a full-time pilot.

Rhea also went on to compete in MotoGP in a 2012 Misano quote to replace Casey Stoner, who was injured at Repsol Honda. However, his signature by a team of Speed ​​teams did not like to remain true to the motorcycle championships derived from the series.

“People always say they’ve never been to MotoGP, but with my heart in mind, I never had the opportunity to get a good motorcycle motorcycle. Maybe they’d been doing a deep maneuver in an open category. It was scary and ruined my career.

Former Ferrari pilot: Enzo would never have signed a contract if he was alive

Former Ferrari driver Arturo Merzario has spoken harshly about Charles Leclerc and his role in the Italian team.

The Italian, famous for saving Niki Laudi from a burning car after an accident at the Nürburgring in 1976, said:

“Leclerc got a seat at Ferrari that he didn’t deserve at the time. He’s a very good racer like any other. If you put more than one name in a hat and take one out, they’re all pretty much the same. He’s not special.”

This season the Monegasque edged out seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix to take all seven of Ferrari’s podiums and claim the team’s only pole position. But for Merzario this does not matter:

“There’s no point in boasting about being ahead of a seven-time world champion like Hamilton, because Lewis took his foot off the gas because he felt he wasn’t integrated into the team. Why would he give 110% under those circumstances?”

Merzario concluded his words with an even stronger statement:

“If Enzo Ferrari were alive, he wouldn’t even walk through the doors of Maranello, I’m sure. He wouldn’t even be accepted as a customer.”
