Rea gives his Assen viewpoint with MCN
Read the British riders views on the Superpole Two incident
Reigning World Champion Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) put in a faultless performance at the Acerbis Dutch Round, but it was also one surrounded by controversy. Following a dramatic Superpole Two coming together between himself and Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), Rea gives his viewpoint as the paddock packs up and heads to Imola.
“What a weekend! I honestly can’t believe we have walked away with another 50 points after an incredible double in two very different races. I always get a warm feeling driving under the tunnel and into the paddock at Assen and it didn’t disappoint this year. The weekend got off to a good start and I had a pretty smooth Friday, setting the pace in the sessions and marking our intentions for the weekend.
Next up was Superpole, and I put one hell of a lap together, possibly one of the cleanest of my career, for pole position. Unfortunately, it would be what happened next that was the talking point of the weekend.”
