"I don't nee💞d racing for the rest of my life," said Rea when speaking to . "Financially I am well secured, I have a nice life outside of racing.
"I enjoy my time on the bike and ﷺI like the competition. It will also depend on Kawasaki's ideas.
🐟"After that I can think about retirღing. I'm going to talk to Kawasaki about whether there's a job for me at the company after racing.
"As a𒉰 test rider, as an ambassador, in team management, whatever. If I had to sit on the sofa with my wife all day every day, we would soon be divorced.
"I ꧃have to 🙈have something for me too. I'll probably need a year after my retirement to think about my future. Maybe we will go to Australia."
