SKOR.id – World Superbike (WSBK) musim 2023 dijadwalkan kembali bergulir pada akhir pekan ini dengan putaran keempat di Sirkuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spanyol, 5-7 Mei.

Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) akan mengandalkan Jonathan Rea lebih dari biasanya karena ini salah satu race weekend terpenting sepanjang musim. 

WSBK Catalunya adalah balapan kandang tim. Selain itu, Rea butuh hasil maksimal untuk menjaga peluang juara. Jadi, rider Irlandia Utara itu tidak punya pilihan selain menang.

Setelah akhir pekan yang intens dalam WSBK Belanda di Sirkuit Assen, April lalu, Jonathan Rea meraih dua podium runner up sebelum crash di Race 2.

Akibatnya, ia gagal memperkecil ketertinggalan dari pemuncak klasemen sementara WSBK 2023, Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), yang sukses mencetak hat-trick kemenangan di Assen. 

Sekarang Rea menempati posisi kelima dalam klasemen dengan selisih 101 poin dari Bautista dan 45 angka di belakang Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha Prometeon) yang berada di peringkat kedua.   

Sirkuit de Barcelona-Catalunya bisa menjadi tempat yang bagus bagi juara dunia enam kali WSBK tersebut  untuk meraih kemenangan pertama musim 2023. Pasalnya ini adalah home race Kawasaki.

Bengkel Kawasaki Racing Team hanya berjarak beberapa kilometer dari trek sepanjang 4,657 km dan punya 14 tikungan itu. Juga banyak sponsor serta mitra tim yang datang dari wilayah Barcelona.

“Saya sangat antusias karena ini balapan kandanga tim dan selalu ada atmosfer yang baik di Barcelona. Ini trek yang bagus untuk berkendara. Saya tidak sabar untuk berusaha maksimal dan melihat apa yang bisa saya lakukan,” ujar Rea dalam laman KRT.  

Seperti hampir semua tim WSBK, KRT juga melakukan sesi tes di Barcelona pada akhir Maret lalu. Saat itu, Jonathan Rea mencetak waktu terbaik ketiga, di belakang Bautista dan Iker Lecuona (Honda).

Tetapi, layout lintasan dengan tikungan panjang dan kombinasi aspal agresif tidak cocok dengan motor ZX-10RR. Ini perlu djadi perhatian Kawasaki. Rea yakin timnya bisa menemukan set-up yang tepat. 

“Dulu, Barcelona biasanya merupakan trek yang sulit bagi kami. Namun, kami menjalani tes yang bagus di sana beberapa pekan lalu. Dengan set-up motor baru, saya percaya kami bisa lebih kompetitif,” tuturnya.

“Kami hanya harus menunggu dan melihat bagaimana kondisi akhir pekan berkembang. Sepertinya akhir pekan akan konsisten dengan cuaca, yang selalu menjadi bonus.”
