Crew chief to six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea, Pere Riba, details two key areas that a rider needs to understand in order to be fast; 'A rider without understanding the limit, understanding the feeling of the bike, it’s impossible to be fast'.
After ‘probably the most difficult weekend in my life’ at Portimao, Jonathan Rea’s crew chief Pere Riba says taking it one race at a time is now ‘our philosophy’ ahead of this weekend’s penultimate World Superbike round of 2021.
Kawasaki Racing Team took advantage of a quite day at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao to continue preperations for the 2021 World Superbike season.
Dorna and the FIM’s efforts to balance the 2018 World Superbike field have come in for criticism from Pere Riba, who believes the decision to further limit the rev limits of successful machines through the year “are not fair, and not clever.”
