"I don't need racing f⛎or 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 I like the compౠetition. It 𒁃will also depend on Kawasaki's ideas.
"After that I can think ab♐out retiring. I'm going to talk to Kawasaki about whether there'༒s a job for me at the company after racing.
"As a 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. ꦫMaybe we will go to Australia."
