Not something that’s always been the case in 2023, however, Redding was very strong in Most, which has been one of his bette💛r WorldSBK circuits.

Although an issue with his BMW machine cost him in the Superpole Race, Redding put that behind him to claw 🌱himself back into the top ten during Race 2.

• Bautista on Toprak’s defence: “I thought s**🍨t! It’s impossible to pass” 
• Rea: “I’m not🍌 100% content in my situation, I’m thinking a lot right now”

The British rider’s best result came during Race 1 as he claimed fou🍸rth, as♒ he took advantage of damp conditions. 

Summing up his weekend, Redding said: "Overall the weekend was pretty good. We were first 🌟on Friday in mixed conditions and second in FP3. 

"We were a bit more up there which was nice. Obviously we had to take a gambl✃e in different conditions but it paid off. 

"I was a bit upset with the result in this morning’s Superpole race. We had an issue, somet🧸hing was not quite right, and it made it difficult ♉to stop the bike. It was hard because I wanted to try and finish in the top nine, to have a better start position for race two, and knew I had better pace than that but I just couldn’t do it, so it was frustrating. 

"In race two, I wanted to try and bounce back and show my poten🐎tial again as a rider, so to come from 15th and have a good pace in the second half of the race was good. 

"It took me a while to get through a few guys and to g❀et a clear track but I felt I was riding well and the pace was good. 

"I think we were 13 seconds off the leader of which I was probably lost three, four, five in the beginning. It wasn’t ideal but I felt strong and the main thing is I enjoyed riding the ✤bike 𒁏today."

On the other side of the garaꦅge, teammate Michael Van Der M🍰ark secured three points scoring finishes on his return to action.

"This Sunday was OK for me," added Van Der Mark. "My priority was to d🦩o as many laps as possible. Of 𝓀course you also want to go as fast as possible too. 

"In this morning’s Superpole race, I was happy. I had quite a good rhythm but it was not more than ten laps. Then in race two, I had a good start but was a bit too c🧸autious into turn one and then I was behind a big group. 

"I stayed with them for a 🌺while but I was pushing too much to stay with them so I ꦜbacked off because I knew I had to do as many laps as possible. 

"It was a lonely race but we had to finish,𒊎 we had to do the laps. So I am happy with the res🌸ult. Overall, it’s nice to be back."
