MotoGP – Scott Redding attacks Aprilia

MotoGP – Scott Redding attacks Aprilia
Bruno Gomes
August 13, 2018

Things aren’t going well for Aprilia Racing in MotoGP, and after the Austrian GP yesterday, Scott Redding attacked the Italian team after another horrendous race for him and his teammate, Aleix Espargaró.

Redding finished 20th and Espargaró, after a promising start, finished 17th with the tyres on his Aprilia RS-GP completely destroyed.

The British rider has had enough of this, and after the race Redding spoke to Italian news media about what’s happening with Aprilia and their bad performances, and he wasn’t soft with words

“It was a horrible shit weekend. Making a race like that breaks my heart, I give my best but everything is always worse”, accuses Redding. “Every time I get on the bike it’s different, there’s always a problem with something, every weekend. I tried to accept it, but it’s a disaster and I’m not happy. Now I will have to go to Silverstone, smile to everyone and say I will do well, and they are all bales. You can not do anything about it. You can not make shit shine, even if I try. I hope that when we do the test at Misano we will find something, there is a new engine, but even there, there were three days of testing, then two and now one …”.

These words won’t help Scott Redding’s future with Aprilia. He already knows he won’t be racing for the Italian brand next season in MotoGP, and Romano Albesiano has offered him a place as a development rider, something Redding isn’t keen on accepting yet.

But now that the British rider has lashed out against the Aprilia performance, and in public, it’s going to be difficult for him to stay with Aprilia even as a test rider. The only option now seems to be a change do British Superbikes, with Paul Bird’s team, who is looking for a rider to replace the seriously injured Shane Byrne on the Ducati Panigale R.

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
