From 2008 to 2014, Jonathan Rhea competed in the Supersport World Championships, then the World Championship Superbike with the Dutch team Ten-Kate. A Honda epic which lasted six seasons at the end of which both the team and the driver took different paths. If the Northern Irishman opened the path to success with Kawasaki, the Ten Kate brothers slipped in the hierarchy until losing the support of the winged coat of arms and leaving the scene. But here they are on the return with Yamaha. Which did not leave the now multiple Superbike World Champion indifferent. With special mention…
To Ten Kate, the Superbike World Championship chapter ended after Honda's surprising change of course at the end of the 2018 season. In June, the Batavian team will return to competition in Jerez. A new project for Ronald and Gerrit ten Kate which brings joy Jonathan Rhea.
« I'm very excited about it, I'm very close to Ronald, Gerrit and this team. I'm glad they found a builder who is helping them come back ". Then he adds on Motorsport-Total.com: “ Loris Baz is a top driver. I wish them success because I share many memories with them and I hope they can celebrate other successes ».
