MotoGP Sepang: Guidotti (Pramac Racing), “Redding missed an opportunity to be a gentleman”

MotoGP Sepang – During the first free practice session of the MotoGP class in Sepang (stage of the seventeenth and penultimate stage of the 2017 MotoGP), Francesco Guidotti was interviewed by Sky Sport regarding Scott Redding's behavior in Australia. The British rider (part of Pramac Racing and who will be riding for Aprilia next year) had fought for a long time with Andrea Dovizioso, taking two precious points away from the Forlì native, who was in difficulty on the Australian track. Here's what Guidotti said.

“It's always difficult to talk about teamwork in this sport, it's a delicate discussion. Dovizioso doesn't need our help, he finished ahead of us over 16 times, it's more him who can help us, seeing his results and his career. Redding? If you put yourself in a situation you should be consistent on the track. Nobody at Ducati gave orders, we just put a question on the table. He put himself in a position to help, then he didn't. The world doesn't fall, for goodness sake... He declared 'There was little difference, I have to think about my career', but you make these speeches if a podium, a victory is at stake, like this he missed an opportunity to be a gentleman. There are no hard feelings about the future, but consistency is the basis of professionalism.”
