WSBK Indonesia J2: Scott Redding is yet another example showing that nerves are on edge this season

We don't yet know what this will mean in MotoGP, where the tension will rise another notch this year with the arrival of the sprint event, but in WSBK, it is clear that we have the nerves to skin bloom this season. A situation which contrasts with the serenity which reigns at Ducati with Alvaro Bautista who threads successes like others pearls. But behind it, things are suffering. Jonathan Rea, on the track, appears more and more rough while at Honda and BMW, the tantrums follow one another…

For these two manufacturers, we will remember that Scott Redding had already revealed himself to be very bitter about the situation of his BMW during the offseason. During the inaugural event at Phillip Island, the results were so disappointing that the boss of the Bavarian brand's satellite team Bonov requested an emergency meeting with the Munich staff.

Then we arrived in Mandalika, the first day of which, Friday, was marked by a big anger from Iker Lecuona in his box Honda. Here we are on Saturday in Indonesia and it's Scott Redding who we find furious while abandoning his BMW in the stands. The gesture of the punch on the M1000RR will undoubtedly cause a reaction in Munich while once his helmet was removed, the Englishman's frustration continued with visibly unkind words towards his team.

Certainly, but, during this time, his teammate Michael Van der Mark brought back his BMW at the finish, ranking her sixth… Baz was eleventh and gerloff fourteenth for the other M1000RRs. The fact remains that we are letting go more and more in public by attacking the employer, which should eventually make him react.
