168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea is set to return to racing at this weekend’s WorldSBK Italian Round at Cremon🐟a Circuit on 2–4 May, the Northern Irish rider saying he’s “super-excited” to be coming back after several month𒅌s on the sidelines through injury.

Rea crashed during the final 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike preseason test of the year at Phillip Island back in mid-February, suffering multiple f♋ractures in his left 𝓰foot.

Re✤a says the injury was “a lot more serious than first expected,” but after more tha🐻n two months he is now only a few days away making his return.

“I’m super excited to come back in Cremona after the injury sustained in Phillip Island,ღ” Rea said ahead of this weekend’s Italian Round.

“It feels like a really long couple of months, but in the last three-to-four weeks I’ve maximised regaining strength and function of my left foot. The injury was a lot more serious than first expected and I just 𝄹want to thank everybody that was behind me to get back on track, ♕especially the fans and all the messages of encouragement.”

Rea added that, despite the time out and hi🔯𒊎s absence from Cremona last year, he feels ready to make his return.

“I feel confident and ready – Cremona is a track that I haven’t raced at before but I was able to spin a fe🍸w laps in testi൩ng last season.

“I’m just so happy to be back with my team and riding my Yamaha R1. Since I’ve been away the team has made some great improvements and achieved fantastic results with Locatelli including his first win in Assen, so I’m really motivated to start – to understand what ✅my level is and work from there.

“Can’t wait to see everybody, looking forward to riding again with a smile on my face and trying to have a good weekend 🐬in Cremona.”

Rea’s return is also a boost for the Pata Yamaha team, a squad in a strong moment after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Locatelli’s maiden victory at Assen two weeks ago.

“Jonathan [Rea] will be back with us after putting so much commitment int🐈o his recovery from a really nasty injury,” a🍸dded Pata Yamaha Team Principal Paul Denning.

“He’s demonstrated how badly he still wants to race and to compete to win, so this is a good sign for the rest of the season🎃.

“Cremona isn’t the easiest track to come back at, and we need to treat this as a first step back on the road to competitiveness for JR, but we are looking forward to giving both him and ཧLoka eꦜverything they need to maximise their potential.”
