Kawasaki has announced that Jonathan Rea will leave the team at the end of the 2023 World Superbike Championship ahead of his impending switch to Yamaha.
“I want to thank everyone at KMC and KRT for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to prove myself at the highest level. I have learnt and grown so much as a person and a rider since the first day throwing my leg over the factory Ninja ZX-10R superbike,” said Rea.
“Winning six consecutive WorldSBK Championships will always be the most obvious highlight of my time with Kawasaki; but it will also be the amazing memories, the life lessons and the laughs that I will take with me into the future. “And, for sure, it’s our mission to complete the 2023 season as strongly and with as much commitment as we have always shown.”Rea may have seen through his deal but a vacancy opened up at Yamaha when Razgatlioglu announced a shock move to BMW earlier in the year, giving the 36-year-old an option to race in more competitive machinery.
Yamaha is yet to officially announce that Rea will join the Japanese manufacturer next year to partner
