Scott Redding

Scott Redding is not holding back for his latest statement towards BMW after claiming that the manufacturer focuses too much on selling motorcycles instead of winning in WorldSBK.

The British rider joined BMW at the beginning of the 2022 season, with the team looking adamant about closing the gap of their M 1000 RR with the front row. 

Despite tremendous effort, the BMW M 1000 RR race bike still needs to catch up to the likes of the Yamaha R1M, Ducati Panigale V4 R and Kawasaki ZX-10RR. 

As a result, Redding could not break into the top seven in the championship last season, further increasing the riders’ frustration towards the German manufacturer.

“I signed the contract because I wanted to win and they told me they would do what I wanted to win. 

“And they made changes. The fork and brakes have changed, but some things will never change and you have to accept that.

“I want to win the championship so are they but maybe selling motorcycles interest them more than winning the World Championship,” he said. 

During last week’s two-day test in Jerez, Redding ended the session in 12th place, 1.4s down on Razgatlioglu. He’s currently in Portimao for another round of tests. 

This is probably the most epic buy for collectors of rare bikes.

A 2016 Honda RC213V-S still in its original shipping crate is now the most expensive Japanese bike ever sold.

The street legal MotoGP replica has never been out of the crate and has just under 2 km on the odo meter. It has no signs of wear and tear or shipping damage anywhere.

Over 63 eager bidders lined up for the bike which could have resulted in the price being hiked up.

The RC213V-S is similar to the Honda RCV1000R that was raced in 2014 by the likes of Scott Redding.

The bike is powered by a 999cc liquid cooled V4 engine with an output of 215bhp.

There’s also a HRC Race Kit that turns it into a proper race machine with a supposed dry weight of just 170kg. The kit will add a further RM86,000 to the already stratospheric price of this Honda.

Michael Ruben Rinaldi marked his debut season as ARUBA.IT Ducati rider with a sensational Superpole Race wins at WorldSBK.

Riding onboard the Panigale V4 R, the Italian rider secured Ducati first win of the season in front of 5,000 fans at Misano.

Rinaldi finished ahead of Yamaha’s Toprak Razgatlioglu in the Superpole Race while the 6th time WorldSBK champion, Jonathan Rea, claimed third place.

The 25-year old rider then completed a spectacular weekend by placing second in Race 2, this time behind Razgatlioglu.

Jonathan Rea continues his championship leads with 149 points, followed by Razgatlioglu with 129pts and Redding with 104pts meanwhile Rinaldi sit fifth with 82pts, just six points shy of Alex Lowes with 88pts.

“I am very happy with this weekend: we just missed the icing on the cake. But I must admit that in Race 2 Toprak and the Yamaha were better than us and that’s why I want to congratulate them.

“I gave my best trying to chase the victory, but in the last laps, I took a high risk and then I decided to bring home this very important second place. It’s a very important step forward,” said Rinaldi.

Fellow ARUBA.IT Ducati rider, Scott Redding, struggled to keep up the pace against his teammate but managed to place 4th in both races.

“It was a very difficult weekend for me. Today we were able to improve a little bit the feeling with the bike compared to yesterday, but it was not enough to be able to reach the podium.

“honestly, in the first laps of the Superpole Race, I thought I could fight with Jonny (Rea) in an incisive way, while in Race-2 I felt I had no grip with the front tire. The season, however, is still long and I hope to be much more competitive in Donington,” he said.

Redding will have a chance to redeem himself in the next round at Donington Park in July.

Jentera Ducati Panigale V4 yang menyumbang kepada kejuaraan Scott Redding di British Superbike (BSB) 2019 kini untuk dijual.

Jentera terbabit dibeli terus daripada pasukan PBM di penghujung musim 2019 dan merupakan satu-satunya (daripada dua) jentera yang dilepaskan pasukan itu.

Menurut laporan, Panigale V4 itu merupakan jentera yang menyumbang kepada kejayaan PBM dalam merangkul kejuaraan BSB bersama Redding apabila merekodkan kemenangan di Donington Park GP, Snetterton, Knockhill, Oulton Park, dan Litar TT Assen.

Bukan itu sahaja, jentera ini cukup istimewa bagi Redding tatkala membantunya dalam merekodkan kejuaraan dalam musim sulungnya di BSB!

Kejayaan Redding di BSB 2019 menyaksikan pelumba itu kini beraksi di WorldSBK 2020 bersama pasukan Aruba.it Racing dan meneruskan hubungan dengan jentera Ducati.

Pembeli yang berminat akan turut mendapat pelbagai aksesori tambahan antaranya, tayar slick Pirelli Superbike Sc2 termasuk tayar yang digunakan Redding ketika menjuarai BSB!

Bukan itu sahaja, pembelian jentera juara ini juga didatangkan dengan sarung tangan, but dan helmet yang telah ditandatangani oleh Redding sendiri.

Bagi yang berminat, jentera ini ditawarkan pada harga USD150,000 (RM622,900)!

Scott Redding mendedahkan niatnya untuk kembali ke MotoGP namun mahu melakukannya selepas berjaya merangkul kejuaraan WorldSBK.

Bagaimanapun, untuk melakukannya, dia perlu mengetepikan saingan lima kali juara dunia, Jonathan Rea dari Kawasaki.

Redding seakan bangkit semula selepas meninggalkan projek MotoGP Aprilia pada penghujung 2018.

Dia muncul juara British Superbike Championship dalam percubaan pertamanya pada 2019 sebelum ditawarkan kontrak bersama Ducati di WorldSBK.

Pelumba berusia 27 tahun itu kini dilihat mempunyai peluang cerah tahun ini menunggang Panigale V4R.

“Superbike memang berbebza. Disini saya diberi sokongan untuk mendapatkan apa yang saya mahu tetapi yang paling penting sebuah jentera yang membolehkan saya melakar kemenangan.

“Tetapi sasaran saya bukan untuk kekal disini tetapi untuk melakar kemenangan dan kemudian kembali ke MotoGP sekiranya peluang itu hadir,” katanya kepada GPOne.

Scott Redding dan Chaz Davies akan memulakan kempen Kejuaraan Superbike Dunia (SBK) 2020 bulan ini di Litar Phillip Island.

Kedua-dua pelumba itu didedahkan secara rasmi ketika pelancaran pasukan Aruba.IT Ducati di Imola.

Redding dan Davies akan beraksi di SBK 2020 menggunakan jentera Ducati Panigale V4 R 2020 yang dikhabarkan mampu menenggelamkan dominasi Kawasaki dan tonggak mereka, Jonathan Rea.

“Bulan lalu kami tidak henti-henti membangunkan Panigale V4 R ini kerana selepas prestasi musim lalu, kejuaraan musim ini dijangka lebih sengit. Sasaran kami musim ini adalah menjadi juara.

“Saya yakin kami mempunyai resepi terbaik – menerusi Redding dan Davies – untuk melakukannya,” jelas Pengarah Urusan Ducati Corse, Luigi Dall’lgna.

Redding merupakan taruhan baharu Ducati selepas muncul juara Kejuaraan Superbike British (BSB) tahun lalu, menggantikan Alvaro Bautista.

“Saya sangat teruja dengan pengembaraan terbaru ini. Penting untuk kami melakar keputusan baik di peringkat pertama perlumbaan. Misi kami adalah untuk merekodkan kemenangan seawal mungkin.

“Saya sangat berpuas hati dengan pencapaian kami ketika sesi ujian,” jelas Redding.

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati squad presented their 2020 WorldSBK set-up earlier this week in Imola, Italy together with their star riders, Scott Redding and Chaz Davies. Riding the powerful 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 R, some would say that this might the year that Ducati takes over the World Superbikes series away from the dominating Kawasaki and their champion, Jonathan Rea.
