EXCLUSIVE: WorldSBK ‘better with Scott Redding at the front, he’s one of the biggest showmen’ - James Toseland Full story 👉 WorldSBK
‘I don’t think he had a choice’ - Former WorldSBK champion James Toseland believes Scott Redding’s move to BMW last season, which has so far proved unsuccessful was as a result of Ducati wanting to move on, not the other way around.
Redding’s decision to join BMW was largely based on Ducati wanting to move on, which they did with the re-signing of Alvaro Bautista who currently leads the world championship by 36 points.Never miss a video fromAlthough he claimed more wins with Honda, Toseland also enjoyed most of his success in WorldSBK with Ducati.
"I think his time was up at Ducati and he did have to find another opportunity. With Kawasaki’s door being shut and Yamaha - that wasn’t going to be open because Locatelli had a fantastic opening year. Then… what other package would you sign for?"He would have had a choice with Honda, he would have had a choice with BMW and with a few other teams because he was battling in the top three with Ducati.
Despite the current championship battle involving Bautista, Rea and Razgatlioglu which is arguably the best we’ve ever seen, having Redding join that fight would only enhance the already incredible racing we’re seeing in Superbikes, according to Toseland.
