Reigning World Champion Jonathan Rea will make his 200th WorldSBK start on Sunday at Assen, a fitting venue as this is the track where he recorded most wins (9) and podiums (12).
Rea has managed to climb on the podium in 94 of his 198 races and, at his most recent scoring rate, he could be able to boast a 50% podium rate. Since he joined Kawasaki back in 2015, he climbed on the podium 52 times out of 58, with an astonishing 89% rate.
In WorldSBK history, there is only one rider with more than 200 races run and a podium appearance rate higher than Rea’s, Carl Fogarty: 109 podiums out of 219 starts (49,8%).
Here is a table with Rea’s achievements compared to the all-time records. |
