The Kawasaki rider and fellow WSBK star Eugene Laverty will take part in a special chat show in the paddock marquee on Wednesday, May 15 at 8pm.

Twelve months ago, Rea rode a special lap of honour around the famous 8.9 mile ‘Triangle’ circuit and his fans will now have a chance to hear the Ballyclare man describe how he became the first man in history to win four consecutive Superbike titles. The 32-year-old will also discuss his attempt to make it a five-timer in 2019.
