Stormont Welcomes World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea

The event was hosted by Gordon Dunne MLA and First Minister Arlene Foster joined the celebration to mark this historic success.
The special tribute recognised Jonathan's remarkable success when he stormed to 14 race victories as he became Northern Ireland’s fourth ever World Motorcycle Champion, following in the wheel tracks of the late great Joey Dunlop back in 1986, Brian Reid and Ralph Bryans.
Arlene Foster said: "It was a great pleasure to meet and congratulate Jonathan on his remarkable achievement in becoming World Superbike Champion.
