Kawasaki - Home Round Approaches For KRT Duo

Official KRT #WorldSBK riders #jonathanrea and #tomsykes will soon arrive at their home round at Donington Park eager to continue the winning ways they have each demonstrated in 2018.

Three-time champion #jonathanrea has recorded five FIM Superbike World Championship race wins so far in 2018, including his first double weekend at Imola last time out. His fellow Briton, and the 2013 world champion, #tomsykes took his first victory of 2018 at Assen in round four. With both KRT riders winning a race at Donington last year the competition for home round success in 2018 is likely to be an enthralling spectacle.
 
For Rea, there will be an extra edge to this weekend, beyond the natural anticipation felt by all riders #racing at their home venue. He will have two chances to be the first rider to reach 60 career race wins in the 30-year history of #WorldSBK #racing. If he does so, he will set a stand-alone record of career race wins at this level. Currently Jonathan is tied on 59 race wins with four-time champion Carl Fogarty.
 
Sykes could also set a different stand-alone all-time record, should he win the Superpole qualifying contest in Saturday. Pole position for race one would raise his record to 44 Superpoles, one more than the record he currently shares with Troy Corser. At a circuit he has won nine races at in recent years, there may be no better venue than Donington for Sykes to make pre-race history on Saturday.
 
As well as much desired race wins to try and achieve at Donington, Rea and Sykes will be hunting for points in the overall championship standings. Rea has led the championship since the second race of round two, and now has a 47-point advantage over second placed Chaz Davies. Sykes is third in the rankings after five rounds, 25 points from Davies.
