After choosing Ducati over BMW in 2020, Scott Redding has finally agreed to𝔉 join BMW for the 2022 WorldSBK season. 

BMW confirmꩲed that Redding will line-up alongside Dutchman Michael Van Der Mark. 

With Redding having spent three seasons with Ducati since leaving MotoGP, last year’s runner-up felt like this was t𓂃he right time to ‘make a change’ꦫ following an inconsistent 2021 campaign thus far. 

Speaking about the announcement, Redding added: "Aruba Ducati has been amazing to me for the last two years and Ducati ♐for the three years. But there is a time and a place for everything. 

"I feel this is a time where I need to ꦓmake a change and I’m really looking forward to this step in my career. 

"It will be interesting because it’s a younger pro𓃲ject; maybe a little bit more fire to succeed because they haven’t quite been there for aw✤hile, so I like that. 

"But in general yeah, it’s just one of those things. You got to move on, you got to do your thing and look f𝄹orward. 

"I’ve never rode an inline V4cc - I’ve always been on a V4 since 🦄I came to Superbike, so I’ll see. I’m interested to see how that goes." 

As stated above, this is not the first time BMW has shown interest in acquiring R🌄edding. 

After winning the 2019 BSB champio🤡nship, Redding’s WorldSBK decision came down to Ducati and BMW - chose the former based on their readiness to win. 

However, with BMW’s big step forward in results anꦡd performance with the new M 1000 RR, Redding believes it’s the right ‘time to go’.&nbs💮p;

"It’s amazing that the other company really wants you ꦓfor so many years; we were discussing with them (BMW) before and I went to Ducati but felt a little bit bad," said Redding. 

"My g💜oal was always to win and I didn’t believe at that time BMW had that experience to win. I know they’ve won races in the past, but since they’ve come back I wasn’t sure. 

"It’s difficult because you're talking hundred𓆉ths, thousandths of a♐ second which can take years to find those. 

"But this year I’ve really seen a step with them - with both r🧸iders. Having Van Der Mark was good. Now I think is the time to go."
