2018 Imola WorldSBK Notes: One hand on the title already?
Submitted by Steve English on
Following his double victory at Imola Jonathan Rea has laid the foundations for his fourth consecutive WorldSBK title.
Rea becomes the equal of Foggy
Jonathan Rea's 59th WorldSBK victory saw the Northern Irishman join Carl Fogarty as the most successful rider in WorldSBK history. But the triple champion was quick to point out that winning races is good but winning championships is better. Still trailing Foggy by one title, there is now a sense of inevitability that Rea will add to his championship haul. The previous two years had seen Chaz Davies do the double at Imola, but he had no answers for Rea over the weekend. They were the class of the field, but it was Rea who came out on top following a tough weekend for the Ducati rider. With a 47 point advantage the title race is now firmly in Rea's hands.
