THE BIG READ
OFFICIAL PROGRAMME
THE TROPHY ROOM
Obviously enough , the whole point of racing is winning . One of the happy consequences of success is that when you get to stand on that podium , people give you nice trophies . Wherever they have come from , most riders have a broad collection by the time they get into the WorldSBK paddock . Ever wonder what they do with them all ? We asked some top riders for a personal treasure map to find out what has happened to their shiny physical rewards .
If you are trying to find the rider with the greatest collection of WorldSBK silverware , especially race-winning versions , you need go no further than the GOAT himself , Jonathan Rea . The six times WorldSBK champion has a record of 118 race wins and 245 podiums of all kinds . Thus far … Maybe ‘ JR ’ has more items of treasure than all the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies put together ? So , where are they , and all the others he has gained in his early career in BSB , WorldSSP , the Suzuka 8 - Hours , etc ? No-one is surprised to hear it when Jonathan says , “ I ' ve got a trophy room in the house .” Well , he would need one .
