A great rider and great character, the Briton has already signed with Ducati for the 2020 World Cup. Could this be the anti-Jonathan Rea weapon?
Now for Scott Redding, there is also the signing. The former MotoGP rider will participate in the 2020 World Superbike with the official Ducati, replacing Álvaro Bautista. The official announcement will come soon, but it is important that the agreement is already signed. Also to dispel rumors about other drivers' interest in the vacant Aruba.it Racing team position. The last days, Jean Marc Dossios, former manager of Superbike riders, told our friends about Paddock-GP an interview with Seraphim Foti, sports director of the Factory team. “ During our conversation, I realized that with Scott Redding slated to be the official driver, the games aren't over yet. I asked him if zarco serait intéressé par Ducati. La réponse de Serafino a été immédiate : “Si Zarco veut piloter pour nous, je le prends tout de suite” ». (read the full interview here).
SMOKE SCREEN
But the truth was different. The negotiation with Redding was short and took place in a few days, after the exhausting negotiation with Álvaro Bautista was interrupted. Scott will be able to end his adventure in British Superbike with very good morale, despite his anger at Andrew Irwin's error which cost him the championship lead at Cadwell Park and valuable points for the play off.

In British Superbike he is doing well, with a V4 R tested just before the start of the championship, due to regulatory limitations on testing and despite most of the tracks being unfamiliar to him. He has already won six races and will arrive at the final events as the driver to beat. The three decisive rounds (see the BSB calendar) take place on circuits that are familiar to him: Assen, Donington and Brands Hatch GP. Then, in November, he will test for Ducati Aruba.it and will have his first direct confrontation with the best riders in the Superbike World Championship.
