Redding has a two-year contract with the Aruba team to try to win the title. In MotoGP there are very few replacements, and Ducati is looking towards home. At Ducati, the racing season that is about to begin promises to be eventful, and the challenges will once again be on several fronts. More than anyone, the man who will have to follow the progress of the red bikes in Superbike and MotoGP is Paolo Ciabatti, who was of course present during the presentation of the Ducati Aruba team as sporting director of Ducati Corse.
“He does, however, have a two-year contract with the Aruba team to try to win the title, explains Ciabatti. In MotoGP there are very few replacements for riders and Ducati is looking towards home. »

“The goal for Scott has to be to start well and continue, given that there are a lot of opponents. There will be tracks that he will have to learn like Imola, it is of course with the bike and with the team from the start, and I think that could be a motivation for Davies too, who like Scott can aim for the title . »
“Can Scott win in Australia? I think so, the bike is competitive, and Scott has always been fast at Phillip Island, so we can start with that idea. »
“I don't think Scott Redding's career in MotoGP is over, but he has a two-year contract with the Aruba team to try to win the title, and even if he wins the first year we will try to repeat success the following year. MotoGP is an increasingly competitive championship, in which there are very few riders ready to replace those who are about to retire, although Quartararo is an example. A return to MotoGP could be a goal for Scott, but only after winning the WSBK title. »
