Redding: 'Fantastic to be coming to BSB'

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:It's official: Scott Reddi📖ng will leave MotoGP and switch🃏 to the British Superbike Championship in 2019.

As rumoured, the Engl🎃ishman - title runner-up in the 2013 Moto2 World Championship before racing with Gresini Honda, Marc VDS Honda, Pramac Ducati and now Aprilia in the premier-class - will join the multi-title w𒁏inning PBM Ducati team to race the new Panigale V4.

Redd🌺ing, 25, lost his Aprilia seat to Andrea Iannone for 2019 after only a handful of rides on the RS-GP. It was soon clear there were no alternative MotoGP options, leaving Redding to weigh up a switch to World or Br💛itish Superbike, or a return to Moto2.

The first whispers of a Redding-PBM&nbs♎p;deal emerged during the July summer br🔥eak, Redding confirming the discussions to ltxcn.top at Brno, when he als💛o admitted to concerns oveꦑr safety at some of the British venues.

However, Redding now has his sights set on 'showing what he can do' ♛with the most successful team in British Superbike.

"It’s fantastic to be coming to BSB," said Redding, who spent two seasons on a V4🐠-powereꦦd Ducati Desmosedici at Pramac.

"It’s a championship I’ve never raced in and learning the circuits is very much pa🦋rt of the challenge which I’m looking forꦜward to.

"Thiဣs is very exciting for me with a very competitive bike and the most successful team and I’m here to show what I can do.

“We will make thꦰe right 🤡preparations and I’m delighted the first round will be at Silverstone where I have great memories.

"MotoGP is tough and without the correct packages it’s ꧒hard to win, but BSB is [also] at such a high level, I want to prove I’m capable of winning.

"It’s also𝓰 a new experience and very important that I can race in front of my loyal fans in the UK more regularly🀅.”

Redding was supported by team boss Paul Bird early in his career, while BSB will have been keen to sign a big-name star to replace the departing Leon Haslam and J🌊ake Dixon, plus doubts over Shane Byrne's fitness.

Paul Bird said: “Scott's a quality rider, as is anyone who can win at Grand Prix and we are💎 confident he will be a title fighter in BSB next season."

Redding made an instant impact in his rookie⛎ 2008 world championship year by winning his home British 125cc Grand Prix as a 15-year-old.

Often hampered by his size (1.85m/75kg), Redding went on to claim three further wins in the Moto2 class and two (wet weather) podiums in MotoGP. Inꦺ total, Redding has stood on a grand prix podium 18 times.

Any chance of a 2019 Aprilia test and MotoGP wild-card role looked to have been lost when a frustrated Redding publicly criticised the technical issues💃 h🌺e was suffering with the bike after Austria.

Countryman Bradley Smith has since been confirmed for that job, with Cal Crutchlow the UK's only full-time MotoGP represeꦯntative in 2019.
