Youll smash it Jonathan, your fans still love ye, you'll find your rhythm never give up hope arms better onwards and upwards keep her lit lad 🏍️💨💥🍀👊🏼

[@GunnerSG]

after riding a CBR for a decade at my snail pace for sure - riding my brother's R1 was like relearning how to ride, it was such an alien feeling (especially the engine braking as it goes w slowing down and downshifting) I never took to it, the engine characteristics on the cross plane Yamaha is totally foreign territory, I can't imagine at JR's speed trying to get it down and be successful !! More power and success to you Johnny - still pulling for you !!!

[@plu5five]

Up or Down, Doesn't Matter! We Are With You JR! Lets Go!!!!!

[@andersonnilo605]

keep it up JR ! Brazilian fan here

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

Don't sweat it my man. You guys will figure it out and in the meantime don't forget that you are THE legend of legends! You are a blessed man in sooooo many ways 🙏 🙌 ❤️.

[@diogocunha1557]

lets go Jonathan keep fighting u are going to go to the top, hope to see u on the portimão round💪💪

You can, Johnathan!! I believe in you.

Keep the faith !! It will come together N.I. is cheering you on

[@alengreen589]

it looks like that Toprak did miracle things on the Yamaha.

[@KB-yj5xp]

And now on the bmw, taking a barely in the top 10 bike to 3 wins in a row and championship lead, he's the best right now

Ahhh I bet its so frustrating!! You know you have it, we all know you have it, just gotta find it. Chin up mate, keep pushing, it'll all make it that much sweeter when it clicks and you find that sweet spot you can fight with 💪

[@kylecunliffe3157]

Find your fun again, I'm sure when you find that balance again you'll be up the Sharp end!..home GP next, enjoy it🤙

AWESOME, A grade production 👏. It must be very difficult to be at the top of a sport and then make drastic changes. This content is simply brilliant!

[@Squiserker]

Keep fighting champion, it will pay off eventually!! 💪 We will keep supporting you

[@benitosulit]

Thanks for sharing these "inside scoop" from a champion. Keep it comin".... :)

[@NHlocal]

Cheering you on Jonathan! As a complete noob racer I can't imagine what it takes to ride at your level. All I can offer is relax and have fun because riding around on a motorcycle is the best feeling in world! I'm 58 and I still giggle like a boy when I am riding. Keep yourself safe Jonathan, cheers! 😃👍❤🏍🏁 Randy

[@paulbergin8756]

I'm very surprised that you have not found more speed from the bike Jonathan fingers crossed it's coming soon 🤞

[@brookcoopman3498]

Big fan JR and the production value of this series is amazing! Thank you. You’ll get there, new bike and new team. Champions can’t be held down, your time is coming

[@letsdothis9996]

Thanks for doing this Jr can't be easy

[@raymondpick4945]

Johnny you are 6 TIMES World Champion Don't for get that all the best.

[@RRFriction]

I imagine it's frustrating because you're a winner But what a legacy you've cemented into the history of WSBK you have a wonderful life ahead of you wonderful family etc... Just enjoy it my man the harder the battle the sweeter the victory. If it doesn't work out then not a problem I'm sure many manufacturers would give you a seat including Kawasaki

[@rayhaanf]

If anyone can get this sorted it's you Jonny, it's not a matter of if but when. It'll turn around soon.

[@Andres_1970]

It's never easy. Your 6 World Championships weren't either, even if our (Spectators ) memory sometimes forgets how much hard work and sacrifices those kind of achievements entail. Facing the lows straight up and with honesty is the mark of the great. Not giving it all is the only failure. You have the respect of those who matter, including your new bosses or sponsors. They know who you are. You and your loved ones do too. That is what will transcend after the Mics & Spotlights turn their attention to new "Favorites", it's always been like that. The great Giacomo is a nice picture of how to handle just that. Cheer up !!

[@czierwo]

The only positive about the situation is that it can't possibly go any worse. Dream. Believe. Achieve!

[@dave8895]

You're a great champion

[@fabiena1787]

He, Jonathan! I don't know that I'm a hardcore fan of yours. But I'm sure of a thing or two. The bike can go fast, and you are a tremendous rider. You will do it. You will get to kick asses again on this bike. You. Are. A. Champion.

Keep at it JR.. It will come.

[@robertanderson2552]

Something will click and it'll all come good!

[@dg8062]

Medical gal was looking you over and confirming that nothing was broken, I think she replied with something like, "just old things"😮. You racers are brutally tough, thank you for producing such awesome, professional content!

[@gpzman9001]

I know you are desperate to progress and win again Jonathan, but desperation gives a narrow view, sit down in a quiet space, take a wider view, there lies the answer. You have got it, remember that, and we are with you. Cheers.

[@amaximus5753]

Hey Jonathan, I noticed you mentioned the trail-breaking from the last video. Thank you. This was a good insight into what goes on behind the scenes with injuries. Good video, and impressive. editing. I was super excited to see you get on a Yamaha R1, so hopefully you can find what you need to bond with that bike. Definitely not easy mate.

[@0cernnunos0]

Awesome video thank you

[@aidelibrahim6379]

Vamos J.R.

[@fqcraigus]

Keep on slogging JR it will click. I along with everyone else apreciate the honest footage and great production you are doing with these vlogs. We will see you again up the front mate

[@number1combo]

How am i just now finding out about this channel 🤯🔥👍🏼

[@johncairns7433]

Keep your chin up Jonathan, it will all come good. Becoming a World Champion wasn’t easy but you’ve done that multiple times.

its not easy , just have fun man, all the good stuff will follow, much love from antrim.

[@SuperbikeCoach]

I feel ya. Been there.

[@CampbellZeroOne]

Loving the style of this season's vlogs JR. They are top notch! Chin up mate. You're a six time WORLD champion for a reason.

[@El_turco82]

Is really hard to see you like that and feel you, maybe not 100% because i am not a pro rider but even as a hobbyrider when the laptime not came like i want is very frustrated i have also ridden 2023 one season with the R1 but i also was never one with the bike,this 2024 season have take again my old s1000rr and i am again one with the bike.Of course is not comparable with your situation,you are such great champ and have pressure etc what we hobbyrider don't have also you ride on a complete another level,but still i can feel you.i hope for you that the things turn around and you became one with the bike.

[@TwinPotMan]

JR you don't look happy and that must be affecting your confidence and self-belief. As you say, making a big step rather than lots of baby steps will help you tremendously, I'm sure. Once that happens the brakes will literally be off and you'll be back to fighting at the front where you deserve to be. Keep going chap, you're a born winner, proved many times!

[@sparkiegaz3613]

I was surprised you left Kawasaki but I’m sure it work out eventually even if this season turns out to be a learning year on new bike,,,I honestly can’t cross my fingers any tighter 😂😮 All best for rest of season 👍👍👍👍👌

[@belly450]

Hi, how much of the issues are down to a poor calendar this year , nearly 2 months between races. testing is OK but nothing beats race miles on a new bike. more racing i would say would give you better data and more flow being race ready on the bike. Keep the hard work going , you are still one of best in the world

[@massimotasselli3048]

Rea, non mollare mai, sei il numero uno

[@TZ500J]

What a great video about a shit weekend... Keep on pushing !! Your time will come again

[@Mechashiva76]

A year before Josh Hayes went on his 3 championship win streak he said he was crying in his trailer and saying to himself "I can't believe I've got this factory ride and my career is over" because he just could not figure out the bike. it's an incredible story how he was able to turn it around and I recommend anyone give it a listen. it's possible to come back when it seems all hope is lost: Off Track with Carruthers and Bice - # 244 Josh Hayes (the journeyman segment).

[@verdeboyo]

Really felt for you Sir. We do hope everything comes together for the next round and you get that podium win. Can I ask tho, do you have a handle bar mounted rear brake on the right side, or is it 100% redundant as you said. 👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻❤🇬🇧

[@FinityXD]

It’s really hard to compete when you’re riding a bike that hasn’t really been changed for almost 10 years. Plus that crossplane engine is obsolete now. If there’s anyone who could do it, it’s you.

[@TheDarkSide46]

Chin up mate , you will come one with the Yam

[@rearwheelslider]

Keep going rea. Six time champ. It’s a mind game and your mind isn’t in it. I feel for you bro but it’ll come back. Do not leave when placing p10.

[@leunam6583]

Don't retire please

[@newpuppy21]

Would love hear about your setup vs Topracks how he rode the R1 vs you as data would be available? All the best.

[@firestorm755]

Oh JR your aren't in a good place mentally, I can see it in your eyes. Just remember you are one of the best riders in the world or you wouldn't be there. That crash😬😬. You take care out there.

Full Gas👍

[@bowdenfamily9225]

Like I said before , I thought you'd go to Honda and be ready for their v4 ... I'm sure it's harder away from Mr Riba . I'm hoping things will improve for you . Watch out for mind games .

Youre fans will always support you ALWAYS. Looks like you're lacking some self confidence atm and trying to make the best of a bad situation. Youre not a 6 x champion for nothing, if anyone can come back from this it's you Dream BELIEVE achieve

[@gardemeister]

Do you think telemetry from other riders put you off ? I mean it is good for information and improvement but everybodys is good at different things. I sincerely believe you will come back on top

[@TheConstitut]

Yes but come back will be epic

[@bckmkr1]

Wish you nothing but the best mate, but seems the move was a bad one compared to what Lowes is doing at Kawasaki as their new number 1 rider. Hope you figure it out. Nothing but love Johnny.

we love you Jonathan you are Legend but İ could not same for yamaha

You have nothing to prove - slow down a bit, relax and stop thinking. Advice I would give myself whilst playing Gran Turismo on the PS2 with me mates back in the day 😁

[@JohnHonda101]

Come on champ, snap out of it, you look like you're down and lacking self belief. John Surtees gave me good advice my first time on track about head stuff in 1983. I've been on track with lots of World Champs over the years but not you. I wish you all the best, keep your chin up Jonny.🙂
