• Michael Van Der Mark𒐪 on battle with Toprak: ‘I made a cheeky pass to wake him up’

Yet, the factory ꦑYamaha star, who was taken out of Race 2 by Alex Lowes, was hoping for more than two top six finishes from the weekend.

“Certainly, I expected to be much more competitive but a sixth༺ and a fifth, I got taken out in the last race but it’s racing,”began Rea. “What really sucks is that we’ve got four days testing planned but due to the resting restrictions, I can’t use all the days and we have to be clever with how we budget t𒁃hat too.

“I need time on the bike, the crew and the crew needs time to understand. We need to make steps forward with the bike in all areas; a chassis point ꦇof view, electronics and step b⛄y step, understand each other more.

“At Assen, I unܫderstood the feeling but riding the R1 round here, it’s really nice but like a 🦹completely different track.

“Different gear patterns at different corners but as you could see with ‘Loka’ and Remy, they did a really 🐷good job, so I just need to find that last bit of being competitive.

“To be competitive and win, I think we need to make a step as a team, ma𓆏nufacturer aಌnd a rider myself, everyone has to take responsibility for that.

“When you see how serious manufacturers 🐽are taking World Superbike, I feel like we need to take that next step now.”

Rea’s for🐼mer team-mate Lowes was a clear contender for the podium in Race 2 after stealing third♛ place away from Remy Gardner at the final corner in the Superpole Race.

But the Kawasaki rider made a poor start and ღwas playing catch-up prior to losing the front-end at turn one.

Speaking about the incident, Lowes said: “Jꦛonny was doing the opposite to me in terms of he had a good start and was coming back whereas I struggled and went back at the beginning before coming back into it later on.

“Our bike’s been working great but i🅷t’s not the easiest 📖to pass people on as we haven’t got the best acceleration.

“I got a really good run off the last corner compared to Jonny🧔 and broke later to try and pass him.

“Turn 1 was the best chance to pass but it’s easy for both 🤪to go wide or I go wide an꧑d then the other rider passes you back.

“So I tried to stop the bike a bit more at the apex so as not allow him back through but as it got tighter, I crasꦕhed, all by myself but because I was passing him, where could he go?

“So, he hit me as he had nowhere to go; I didn’t smash into him or anything 𝐆like that.

“It would’ve been another good chance foꦆr a solid performance but it was a mistake trying to pass.”
