Jonathan Rea 2008

Jonathan Rea, 5th; Phillip Island Australia 2008
world supersport rd 2

I am happy enough. We scored a 5th today, I rode very hard but still struggle to understand the tire when its brand new. The last 10 laps I can be as fast as the front guys, but in the opening laps when the tire is new, I still have to learn to push it harder. That was my biggest mistake today as I lost so much time at the start of the race. I would like to give a big thank you to my team and the mechanics for all the work they put into the bike over the weekend. I am really looking forward now to going to the track in Valencia. I know the track and should be able to fight back and score some points.
