Six-time World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea is set to join Yamaha next season in a sensational switch to replace BMW-bound Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Rea joined Kawasaki in 2015 after six seasons at Honda in WSBK, with the Ulsterman going on to dominate the series aboard the ZX-10RR.
The 37-year-old Northern Irish rider has a Kawasaki deal in place for 2024, though the competitiveness of the ZX-10RR has waned in recent years, with Rea only so far winning once in 2023. Rea's move to Yamaha comes after the six-time world champion was able to terminate his contract with Kawasaki, parting ways by mutual consent.
In other WSBK news, former Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia MotoGP rider Andrea Iannone is nearing a return to racing in 2024 in the series.
