The thirty-year-old Scott Redding has been a BMW official for two years and he has not lost his direct style or his frank speech by integrating the Munich coat of arms which prides itself on always being clean on him. A philosophy that the Englishman assumed with special words of welcome towards the brand's sensational recruit in the person of Toprak Razgatlioglu. With this war prize, the Germans thus deprive the Japanese of Yamaha of their 2021 WSBK World Champion. But Redding has other concerns…
And among these, there is the fact that, in the clan BMW, one of the four member drivers will have to leave a place as one of the two residents of the official team. A situation which should not, a priori, worry Scott Redding who can exercise an option automatically extending it to the M1000RR next July. So he has the hand.
But he also has doubts: “ these two years have been difficult for me. Don't get me wrong, we work hard, but we're not quite where I want to be. I can't say much about my future » commented the Englishman during the prelude press day to the WSBK meeting in Misano this weekend.

Then he finally talks about the sensation of the transfer market in the paddock: the transfer of Toprak Razgatlioglu. And the reception is a little cold… “ Honestly, I don't know what Toprak can bring, especially if I look at his riding style. It was a surprise to me, as it was to everyone. For me it's a mystery, a shock. It now remains to be seen how the situation will evolve. after the commotion raised by Toprak. Time will tell all that. We'll see how it goes " finished Redding on Motoracing.
