World Superbike champion Jonathan Rea has won the top award each year since his maiden title success in 2015 and will again be the red-hot favourite to lift the coveted Joey Dunlop trophy following his sixth straight world crown in 2020.

The Northern Ireland rider is focused on challenging for a magnificent seventh title this year, when Rea will ride a new model of the ultra-successful ZX-10RR, which he tested for the first time at the end of last season.
