KAWASAKI RACING TEAM RIDER JONATHAN REA SECURES TWO PODIUMS IN ITALY
Kawasaki Racing Team rider Jonathan Rea secured a podium finish in the opening race of the Imola WorldSBK weekend after 19-laps of intense action in extremely hot conditions. Alex Lowes placed ninth after some tough luck in Superpole qualifying. In Superpole Rea was eventually seventh and Lowes 11th, with Alex losing his best lap after exceeding track limits. Rea thus started the opening race of the Imola weekend from the third row of the grid and Lowes from Row 4our.

Jonathan Rea
“The Superpole Race seemed like our best chance to do a good job. But starting from seventh was not the best way to give yourself the best opportunity. I was fighting with Locatelli and he was not making any mistakes, doing a really good job. There was a point in Race Two when I thought maybe we could fight a little bit more, to be honest. Happy with our points haul and this was probably our best weekend of the season, with two podiums in the long races.”
Jeffrey Buis
“It was a really tough weekend with the high temperatures and track conditions. We were finally able to do our best and we go home with a podium and a fourth place. It was one of the most difficult tracks for us as I rode here only in 2019, so I’m happy. We recovered a couple of points in the championship and now we’re going to ride on tracks in which we have references - tracks which I really like and in which we can be really fast. I want to thank all the team for the job they have done and can’t wait to be back on the bike in Most.”
Lucas Mahias
“Even though I got the same result as yesterday, today's race was more satisfying. I was able to keep a good pace and the bike worked at its best. Due to the hot conditions I paid attention to tire wear during the race so as not to lose ground in the final stages - and I think I succeeded. Ninth place is not yet the result that the team or I deserve, but I consider it a step forward to greater competitiveness.”

Lucas Mahias
“In this round our goal was to continue to adapt to the ZX-6R and to try to enter the top ten consistently. I think the balance is positive because today I finished ninth and I felt more comfortable on the bike. I hope that Öncü will be able to race again at Donington, but if that were not the case, I would be happy to remain a part of this team. I thank them for the excellent work done here at Misano.”
