Six-time World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea will retire from full-time motorcycle racing at the end of the 2025 season.
The Yamaha rider will pull down the curtain on his decorated career after the final round of this year’s championship in Spain in October.
Northern Irishman Rea, 38, won six successive World Superbike titles between 2015 and 2020 to cement his place as the series’ most successful rider of all time.
In his 459 championship races, Rea secured 264 podium finishes, with 119 race wins and 105 best race laps.
Rea has four rounds remaining in his World Superbike career. He is next in action in France from 5-7 September. He will then race at Aragon and Estoril before his final event at Jerez from 17-19 October.
