Scott Redding therefore assured his future in MotoGP, and he narrowly escaped. Because in his successive positions held with a Honda then with a Ducati, the Briton has hardly convinced, even preparing to leave his Pramac team at the end of the year with the label of a rider with potential relating to the mystery. A question that he will have to answer at Aprilia and Aleix Espargaro's future teammate swears that he will be the man for the job, with a manufacturer for whom he could have signed three years ago...
Car Scott Redding reminds him, between Aprilia and him, the approach was not new: “ I almost signed for Aprilia two or three years ago already, but at the time I wasn't feeling the bike and I wanted to get results quickly. I wasn't ready to deal with a motorcycle from scratch. Now I realize that's what I should have done. The opportunity has presented itself again and the Aprilia is in its third season. She has made a lot of progress ».
« The RS-GP does not consume its tires, it is easy to drive, it has torque and its size seems to suit Aleix Espargaró with whom I have approximately the same measurements. The only problem seems to be engine power, but they are working on it. In the past I have demonstrated that I can give good information on the development of a motorcycle, so I will be able to help them ».
« I'm not saying that we will play for the title, but we are starting from a base which is between eighth and sixth place, which is not bad. And they only work with one driver to develop it ". Which brings us back to the case Sam Lowes, asked to evacuate the premises after a single season in MotoGP: “ it's difficult to develop a bike when you've never ridden a MotoGP. Sam's situation was complicated because he was trying to work on the bike while still having to produce results. It was too much on his shoulders and that's why I think I'll be the right one for the job. ».
Sam Lowes has already found refuge in Moto2 within a CarXpert structure which he already promises to take to the world title. In MotoGP, if Redding saved his situation, that of Loris Baz andHector Barbera remains worrying...
