BMW's Reddingpower says he was 'mad at myself for hours' after his third crash in as many full-distance WorldSBK races at Portimao:
BMW rider Redding has suffered a difficult run of form in the most recent two rounds of the series after a run of impressive podium finishes prior to that at Donington Park, Most and Magny-Cours.
“I was upset with myself with the crash in the first race because there was no need to crash on the last lap,” Redding told the official World Superbike website about the Portimao crash. “I was mad for hours after.“At Barcelona, I was not going for a podium, if I can get a top six [I would have been satisfied], it was possible. But I had to use the hard front tyre and I crashed with that [in the first race].“The crash here was my fault.
“I needed to make something good [in Race 2] of a bad weekend,” reflected Redding. “We changed a lot on the bike and it helped me a lot with tyre life and feeling.
