A steady year mate, no matter what happens, you're still a champ in my eyes and the main rider I look for in the races.

[@dianedownie5951]

You're easy pleased.

[@darrenjones5593]

@@dianedownie5951 you’re too easily to writing Jonathan off! He’ll be back

[@PeterComber]

Disappointing year for sure. I hope that you and Yamaha can collectively raise your game and be strong next year. I'll be cheering for you again next season.

[@NemadZaza]

dear Jonathan, this year of 'transition' has been complicated on several levels, it must be frustrating. However, I would like to remind you that you are the greatest champion this category has had. Don't doubt your abilities...Regarding Yamaha, let's hope they make positive changes to this machine. Thank you for sharing this competition season with us, we will be there for the next one. Kind regards

[@JoeAchilles1]

Have a good off-season JR, 2025 will be a good one 🙌

[@NHlocal]

Relax and have fun with your riding Jonathan! I am always reminding myself of that very thing. I've enjoyed watching you and your progress this season. Very much looking forward to cheering you on next year! Cheers and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍🏁 Randy

[@colinmccrea718]

A hard year JR but hopefully things will turn around over the winter test series and into next season. As supporters who were with you through the Honda years, my wife & I know things will come good. Thanks for taking the time to chat at both Estoril and Jerez by the way, it's appreciated.

[@jrea65]

Thanks a lot mate. The support means a lot 🙌

[@petervisi5369]

Finding your way with a new team after a very long time with another is no small feat. You had a steady progress through the season. Hopefully during winter test you will have some time to process all that experience and use it to push on with new strength in the next season. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@FridayNightFM]

1st year on the bike, plenty of learning days ready to give it the welly in 2025! Just remember your early days when you could only dream of riding a factory bike, let alone being the SuperBike goat! You've got this JR, having a blinding off season and thanks for the vlogs.

[@simonfowler7561]

Wonderful man and amazing rider!

[@90dfender]

You have proved time and time again what a incredible rider you are.I am very proud of what you have done in the past and also know you were never given these titles,so keep fighting and keep being johnny rea the best in the business.

[@tightlinessteve]

Can not wait to see you back at the top, taking the R1 with you. Have a great break.

[@ericsuessfrpd305tuco]

Always a champ! You’ll improve next season. It’s in your DNA!

[@jonbromfield7643]

Definitely something missing with the Yamaha this season. Every rider on it has had to over ride the bike. Reset over the winter JR and lets hope Yamaha can come up with a better package. Good luck for next season and enjoy your break

[@lifeatredline1783]

Class act by congratulating your competitors. Best wishes for your off-season. We all know you’ll be giving them hell next year.

[@jrea65]

Always respect

[@wayneholford9796]

A Tough year for you , reset as better seasons are ahead for sure. 👌 can’t keep quality down and cream rises to the top 👊👊👊

[@pafsrh4744]

Persistence and changing how your mind makes you feel it's difficult, keep pushing bit by bit bro

[@AMB-65]

JR you’re the greatest SBK rider ever. The season being the way it’s been will make next year feel even sweeter when you’re back at the front challenging & doing what you do best. Enjoy the winter break - ‘25 full gas👌🏼

[@bdn9041]

I think he needs reminding of that fact. I don't know who the french guy is on JR's team.. whether he owns it or is an engineer.. mechanic.. crew chief... but his gallic shrug is infectious and not in a good way. I'm aware that an upbeat crew chief isn't going to make the engine better or the chassis more compliant but it might make the team focus on the positives.

[@jrea65]

I appreciate that!

[@darrenjones5593]

@@jrea65 you’ll be back to the top Jonny I know it!!! I loved the way you use to ride the wheels off that Honda, when you were down on ponies! I remember James Witham used to comment and say he wishes he could ride bike like that!!!! you’re really not that far off at the moment anyway you’re starting to look more like your old self, putting the Jonathan rea spin on the yam all the best, mate

[@Albahills]

Talent like yours does not disappear overnight. You rode the wheels of every single bike you have ever raced. I really hope the team can give you the bike you deserve. Please enjoy the off season with your family and then what will be will be. ❤❤

[@nf7538]

Bulega; Rea is a warrior! Toprak; Yes, Rea is a true warrior, you should have seen him in Kawasaki

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Best of luck for next season, from Joey Land aka Ballymoney 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FATTYDH216]

A tough year for you and the team Johnny, still really enjoyed your and the teams efforts. Rest and reset and go again, can’t wait to follow along again next year. Enjoy the break and then have a great testing program 👏. 👊💥

[@cyrilthompson1846]

Getting used to a new bike and team isn't easy. It takes time to get the feel of a new machine and changing riding style. Treat this year as a learning stage Fresh start with testing and get the laps in. Best wishes for 25 Jonny. Keep er lit.

[@nickrider5220]

All the best JR, in you we trust 👍🏻

[@ducanh244]

You will bounce back Jonathan. A year to learn & forget. 2025 coming strong mate. Keep it up.

[@casefarley5744]

It was a building year. Thanks for the videos and the peek behind the scenes. Really helps me appreciate the racing more. Cheers and good luck with the winter tests.

[@gpzman9001]

Enjoy your break Jonny, have a good winter test. Cheers

[@jrea65]

Thanks, you too!

[@klausheisler875]

Good luck next year

[@ironman8fitnesspl-eire75]

Great video.be nice to see Johnny up fighting for podium 2025🤞

[@garyhutson6361]

It's not the year you wanted. You did what you could with the package you have.. keep the blogs coming over winter. Then restart for next year 💚 all the best to you and the family 👍🏼🍻

[@philsaunder9690]

Strangely, it’s been as entertaining watching you struggle as watching you win everything. You are still the GOAT and I know you’ll come through. Beat Loca in 25. 👍

[@grahamsmith8122]

You have nothing to prove mate. There is no dishonour in being beaten but I know how hard it is to remain confident in your own ability. Do what your heart tells you.

[@joebloggs1317]

I think Toprak's riding style really complimented the Yamaha, it wasn't the quickest bike out there but he got the best out of it. You've had a season on it and have improved, lets see what 2025 season brings. Good luck Bud and keep it rubber side down.

[@namelesssumacher6966]

Rea ✊🏻💪🏻 improve step by step and confidence

[@terrencefu4473]

I’m sure you can now appreciate how hard Toprak was riding the R1M in order to get it on the podium?! Best of luck for next season!

[@lewisbennie9483]

All the best JR65

[@TheBlade20046]

Pissing into the wind with the R1. Yamaha don’t care there won’t come any new material. We need to get on a Ducati 26

[@Kraven83]

Agreed

[@vincentmarsh9476]

God's speed!

[@paulperry8800]

Hoping for some super concessions particularly for the engine, and for Yamaha not to give up on developing the R1, despite its imminent demise in the European market. You really set your stall out when times are tough, so let’s see what happens next year. 🤞

[@Brock-u3j]

The Japanese manufacturers seem to have been caught flat footed in nearly every category but super stock. It’s like they don’t want to catch up. They want the fim to close the gap for them.

[@Geckatron]

Enjoy a bit of a holiday and relax, then back to it for next year 👍😎

[@jrea65]

That's the plan!

[@WilliamVennard-z9b]

Sort that YAM out and let's GO for 2025 JR SIMPLY THE BEST we ❤ you CHAMP 🇬🇧

[@lesclarke460]

Let's go in 2025, JR!!

[@queenslander954]

Yamaha would have promised JR more power , more power by seasons end .. but like Fabio in Motogp it never happened.

[@kanand00]

Hello Jonathan, nothing to prove, Take care 😊

[@motosteggy3980]

Johnny should have been getting on that Bimota... That R1 is done now..

[@88pedro888]

A few changes for next year. You know it makes sense. Riba and Marron are magicians. You need some magic. How’s Chris Pike fixed?

[@grahammccarthy9841]

That was a tough year for you and the team Jonathan despite all the efforts of everyone involved. Hopefully Yamaha can get you a bit more straight line speed like Kawasaki seemed to be able to manage this year. At least you wouldn't be losing so much each lap and allow you to stay in the hunt and let your ability be a decisive factor rather than being on the back foot all the time.

[@peterflynn9123]

Can anyone explain to me how yamaha is competitive in BSB but not at the races in WSB?. Is it just the electronics? (Cause we all know it's not down to the rider!)

[@toyboyhhracing2288]

The problem with the bike is not enough has been done to develop the overall package. Maybe it's reached the end of what's capable to extract from the engine. When Toprak was riding it he made it look better thank it was a bit like the BMW. Look where the other riders are in the field. I think you should switch to Honda or Kawasaki power. They seem to have more to come.

[@KHIJAPAN]

I am greatly disappointed with the years results! I don't know whom to blame, The bike or you Jonathan. There are many to say but i will keep silent. Next year come stronger and win the championship!!

[@andersonnilo605]

This year was an academy , next will be the graduation

[@stewitr]

Absolutely gutted for you this year. One thing I noticed at most rounds from every time we saw images of you in the races, you just didn't look 'comfortable' on the bike, especially compared to how you were on the ZX10. Fingers crossed for 2025

[@StephenEvans-qo7fq]

Give a Ducati a go you’d be champ half way through the season

[@scrooge8564]

Are Yamaha getting any concessions for next year or ?

[@Kraven83]

Something yes, but Dosoli has already said they're not interested in investing as much as BMW or Ducati do.

[@scrooge8564]

@@Kraven83 another difficult year ahead then

Good job mate, How's the thumb? Good luck in the offseason.

[@alengreen589]

I´m very disappointed this year from the performance of the Bike, we can only hope that Yamaha can find more performance out of the Bike for next year 🤞

[@captaintoyota3171]

Its not all you JR its yamahaha slacking off. They took toprak 4 granted and this is what they get

[@CaptLawrence]

Well what can we say anyone who has raced except maybe you has had a season like this it just doesnt always come together. Cannot wait to see you next year and see what you can bring. You will be up against some serious stuff new ducati new fake Kawasaki. Really the only thing this season has showed me is that maybe if HRC has a seat you should push one of them out and take it although I do like those boys. If it helps at all just remember that if every single person including myself who were negative this year about you tried to race you they would be lapped. This is the pinnacle of the sport being top 15th just means that your faster than every other person on planet but those lol. Enjoy and get some work done over the winter much love from America

[@Ricky-cl5bu]

You just need a faster bike that’s all your riding brilliant

[@adrianwolff2007]

Yamaha needs a faster bike asap.

[@paulbergin8756]

Makes me think where you would of finished on the green machine 🤔 you must be disappointed with this year Jonathan

JR had a poor season by his standards but the Yamaha is really really bad.

[@HyperRev]

Go back to Kawasaki Please!

[@ademozata1]

Yılmayan tükenmeyen şampiyon. Gençler hızlı BMW hızlı. Yapacak bişey yok. Kawasaki den yamahaya henüz tam alismadin. Yamaha henüz rea olmadı. Biliyosun Yamaha toprak olunca kazanmıştı. Vurajlarda çok üstün kalkışı var

[@alanjackson3589]

You should have never left Kawasaki the Yamaha doesn’t suit your style and you owned the Kawasaki you were always in front of Alex so you would probably have been 3rd this year on the Kawasaki.

[@namelesssumacher6966]

Japanese bike was underrated

[@wayneholford9796]

Alan Or are you Mr I told you so !!! 👏👏👏 Quality insight, thanks for you input, everyone must love your positivity

[@mmi7918]

You shouldn't have switched to Yamaha after looking at Toprak, no one can drive a Yamaha as fast as Toprak, you should have stayed with Kawasaki

[@thomasreyes2857]

You should have retired and left the sport when you were on top but you do like so many other champions you go to another team think you can still win and you can't and then you finally leave the sport on a losing note😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevekirk6399]

A blog is meant to be behind the scenes of the biker. All we got from this one is what you said to the press. you did come across like you were going to spit out your dummy. good luck next year.
