MotoGP: Scott Redding has signed with Team Gresini

Scott Redding will race for the Gresini MotoGP Team in the next two years and will certainly ride a Honda RCV1000R next year. The British rider, leader of the Moto2 world championship, then moves up a category with the new Honda Production, which unlike the Factory one will not have the seamless gearbox, Ohlins suspension and pneumatic valves. A bike that on paper should be competitive, this is what the current Marc VDS Racing Team rider and the Italian team manager declared.

“I'm really looking forward to starting this new adventure in MotoGP next season – he said Scott Redding – Riding the new Honda RCV1000R I will compete with the best riders in the world and I already know that a tough learning period awaits me. For this reason it was very important to move up the category with an experienced team, and there are few teams worthy of Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini in the paddock. But now my goal is to win the Moto2 World Championship for Marc van der Straten, without his support over the last 4 years it would have been impossible to have the opportunity to get to the MotoGP.”

“I am very satisfied with the possibility of working with a talented young man like Scott Redding – he added Fausto Gresini – We signed a two-year agreement with him with the clear intention of building an ambitious project together to make him grow and bring him to high levels in MotoGP. Scott Redding has demonstrated excellent skills and qualities and therefore we are proud to be able to welcome him to our team. We can't wait to start working together with him. We really like his driving style and his approach to racing.”
