Rea delighted to be crowned Irish Motorcyclist of the Year
The 2015 Superbike World Champion was a delighted and popular winner of the Joey Dunlop Trophy.
“Its amazing to win this award as it has been a few years since I won it last. It’s the most iconic award to win in motorcycling in Northern Ireland. It means a lot to me,” the Ballyclare rider said.

“One of the most special things is coming back home and spending the night with all the motorcycle enthusiasts and the talent from all the different disciplines of motorcycle sport”.
Rea also lifted the short circuit rider of the year award at Friday’s bash.
