Scott Redding is currently in an uncomfortable position in MotoGP. He is one of his drivers who have no offers for next season while their current handlebars are the subject of all the negotiations. A disenchantment in the form of disavowal that the Englishman does not deny and which he shares with his compatriot Sam Lowes… whom he plans to replace at Aprilia. But a second life in Superbike seems to be more credible for the former 2 Moto2013 world vice-champion.
At 184 cm tall and 23 years old, Scott Redding knows that his position is precarious within his current Pramac team. The latter aims rather Jack Miller, a year his junior and winner of the Dutch Grand Prix at Assen in 2016. Redding, he has four Grand Prix victories in his career: three in Moto2 and one in 125c. He has also been on a MotoGP podium twice. Once in Misano in 2015 and another in Assen in 2016. On both occasions, rain was the order of the day.
Si Redding does not impose himself with his GP16 this year, he nevertheless remains a driver who has reason to interest elsewhere. In Superbike for example. He is said to be in contact with the Ducati Barni satellite team, but he still needs to bring 800.000 euros. A place is also possible at Honda, orphan of Nicky Hayden.
But Ducati is thinking about what he could do with this Redding, which would be very useful in the development program of the future production V4 engine. And therefore destined for Superbike in 2019. As he will owe a lot to the GP15, it would be sad to see this experience squandered…
