    Damn! Rea was just brutal with Davies aspirations in race 2. From ninth on the grid. Equal with Foggy on race wins and off to Donnington.

    Jonathan Rea set to release autobiography

    24 May 2018
    World Superbikes: Jonathan Rea set to release autobiography
    Triple World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea has announced he will release an autobiography in October

    The reigning World Superbike champion, who equalled Carl Fogarty’s all-time wins record last time out in Imola, is on course to also match Fogarty’s world title record as he hunts a fourth crown this year. Rea currently leads the riders’ standings by 47 points ahead of nearest challenger Chaz Davies.

    Rea’s autobiography, titled ‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.’ will map out the Northern Irish rider’s career path from the son of an Isle of Man TT winner to becoming a triple world champion while it is also set recounts on key career and life moments, including his horrific crash at 17 when he broke his femur and was told by doctors he would never race again.

    The book, published by HarperCollins, is available to pre-order ahead of its official release date on October 18 2018, four days after the all-new Argentina round, which is likely to coincide with Rea’s battle to make history as a four-time World Superbike champion.

    “The team has been very supportive of me and my co-author, and long-time friend, Steve Booth [former Honda PR],” Rea said. “It’s only now when I recall the last few decades with him I realise the incredibly special journey I am on and those who’ve been part it.

    “It hasn’t all been plain sailing though and there have been a lot of life lessons learned along the way. This book will be very open and honest about how I’ve been able to make my dreams and ambitions become a reality.”

    Bradley Ray is a young thruster in BSB and he has a wild card ride at Donnington this weekend. His times in practice put him straight into Q2. Impressive.

    Oxley pointed out he could cause problems for the commentators.
    Ray tries to move up the inside of Rea but Rea closes the door on Ray. IYSWIM

    why the ducs no where?Davies is ussually amongst the fastest .Looked very smooth, claimed a couple of places right at the end from 10th.I think he started ninth.Melandri lost the front and crashed.You have to say that now since MM often crashes but doesnt fall down

    If that is the sort racing Donington produces we should run the rest of the season there.

    Enjoyed the WSS race more ! Muted the comms in WSB a few times . Cream rises to the top not matter how they start it seems ? Johnny Rea not real happy with himself he said.

    What has happened to Davies on the Duc ?
    60 Wins in WSB for Rea. Looked so easy for him.

    I wondered the same about Davies. The race ook a while to get started though. The first half was entertaining then the gaps appeared. In WSBK it seems difficult to bridge even a modest gap. One second seems to be too far for some bikes. Unless your name is Rea. Then you can walk on water some weekends.

    On the subject of Rea: Any idea what the mystery announcement he mentioned is about? Moving to E-Bikes, SSP300, new manager for Marquez?

    Well I'm glad that Rea has managed to get the all time record on race wins... now he'll be able to relax and really begin to dominate

    81 points ahead of Davies.

    91 points ahead of his teammate.

    What a fucking drubbing.

    you got to give credit to Rea but as has been said what has happened to Davies.At times during the last three years he has looked the fastest but today it looked like he had no grip right from the Start.Melandri looked like he was on rails but had no answer for Rea.Its NOT good for the series that the Kawasaki is so dominant

    Why not? It's always been the way, was just Ducati with their CC advantage for fucken decades. Cheating cunts.

    It's only really Rae doing the dominating though. Sykes had the years when the other bikes just couldn't keep up.

    The only person Sykes is interested in competing with is Rea... the team need to take him out back and deliver a kicking.
