"Scott Redding will not repeat Alvaro Bautista's mistakes"

The new Ducati purchase will not repeat the mistakes of the previous owner. Word of James Whitham, former Superbike rider now a British Superbike commentator

Scott Redding will not make the mistakes of Alvaro Bautista, costing the World Superbike to Ducati. This is assured by James Whitham, now 53, in the 1990s, protagonist of the World Superbike Championship "When he can't win, he'll be satisfied, Scott Redding was a very consistent driver even in MotoGP and he makes very little mistake ". Whitham is now the technical voice for Eurosport UK and has followed the entire British Superbike season, which the SC45 won on the PBM Ducati V4R.

"REDDING IS VERY FAST"

"Scott crashed a couple of times in the whole BSB season, but never his fault, I expect he will be very reliable even in the World Championship."Continues Whitham. "He is very fit, he has found stimuli and a taste for driving this season that he lost a little in the last years in MotoGP. He also knows the circuits, and also the Superbike format. " In the British there are two races in each event, and in two of these even three, as in the World Cup.

"BUT WILL NOT DOMINATE"

"Another advantage of Scott Redding is that he knows the Ducati V4R very well, in the BSB he drove with very limited electronics (MoTeC control unit and without controls, by regulation, ed) but having spent so many years in MotoGP the most complex systems are no mystery to him. He will be one of the protagonists, from the first race. But I don't think it will dominate. For Scott Redding it will not be easy to be right about opponents like Jonathan Rea or his teammate Chaz Davies. "
