Six-time World Superbike Champion, Jonathan Rea, has undergone successful surgery on his foot.
Jonathan Rea has undergone surgery to stabilise the foot injury sustained in his testing crash at Phillip Island earlier this week.
During the opening day of the final test session at Phillip Island on Monday, Rea fell at turn two and sustained multiple fractures to his left foot.
After treatment at the circuit medical centre and further scans and specialist consultation, Rea flew home to Belfast on Wednesday.
On Friday, he met with Dr Michael McMullan at the Kingsbridge Private Hospital in Belfast and underwent surgery to stabilise the fractures. The procedure was deemed a success and Rea has since returned home to begin his recovery.
"I would like to thank Dr Michael McMullan and his team at the Kingsbridge Private Hospital in Belfast for the urgency and care to deal with my foot injury," Rea said.
"After reviewing the scans from my crash in Australia we made the decision to fly home directly and perform surgery to stabilise and fix the injuries in my foot.
"The surgery was successful and I will continue my recovery at home with my medical team. I want to thank my team, my family and of course all my fans who have been sending me positive messages during these difficult days."
It has been confirmed that Rea will miss the second round of the 2025 World Superbike Championship. His replacement in the Pata Maxus Yamaha Team has not been confirmed as of yet.
