Competition for contracts intensifies
All riders will be looking to either earn a contract for next season or justify newly signed contracts, such as Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes. The team-mates recently signed new deals to continue as Kawasaki’s flagship riders. It remains to be seen if the chasing pack of Ducatis, Yamahas, BMWs and Hondas can catch the speedy duo.
