MotoGP rider Andrea Dovizioso claims Alvaro Bautista’s ‘speed’ is unrivalled in WorldSBK at the moment, but that Jonathan Rea has the ‘championship mentality’ needed to keep himself in the fight.

Despite a strong start to the 2022 WorldSBK season, Jonathan Rea is yet to commit his future to Kawasaki, in fact, the six-time world champion has not even begun talks with the Japanese manufacturer.

Following a strong race one which saw him battle eventual winner Alvaro Bautista for large parts, six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea was left ‘frustrated’ as he failed to match his main rivals during Sunday’s double-header.

Although Toprak Razgatlioglu missed out on victory in race two at Misano, it wasn’t for a lack of trying as the reigning WorldSBK champion showed another side to his incredible talent.

Five winners and losers from round four of the 2022 WorldSBK championship as Alvaro Bautista extends his championship lead, while Toprak Razgatlioglu claims his first win as world champion.
