Scott Redding re🌊veals the self-doubt he faced in his🐎 BMW years, and how Toprak Razgatlioglu affected that.

Former BSB Champion and sixth-year WorldSBK rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Scott Redding says that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu’s🍌 succes🍎s on the BMW M1000 RR in 2024 caused him to doubt himself.
Redding, who moved from BMW to Ducati machinery over the winter after spending three seasons in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike with the Bavarian brand, said that his struggles on the M1000 RR meant that he started to doubt himself, and indicated t🎃hat Razgatlioglu’s arrival and quick success on the bike led to further self-questioning.
“I’ve had thre🔜e difficult years and it’s never easy, you do start to doubt yourself,” Redding told WorldSBK.com.
“Then Toprak [Razgatlioglu] came and he did a great job with the bike and it’s like, ꦿ‘Maybe it is me’. As a rider, if you start to doubt yourself, it’s probably the biggest enemy you could have.
“But then I t⛦hought I’ve had this in the past, and I’ve re-grouped. I feel I can do more, I’m j🍒ust not able to show it.
“To have those races, it just fuels my fire of 💫believing in myself again. In racing, thatꩲ is a massive factor.”
Redding was able to find an immediate impr﷽ovement in results at the opening round of the season in Australia, taking three top-five finishes although he was never able to clinch a podium.
“The first round of the s🍰eason, 𒁃I was happy,” he said.
“I really wanted a podium and I expected to get one w🅠hen I was there. I’m honest, I’m not going to say I didn’t.
“But to be there fighting again,𒈔 it really got that fire burning in m👍y stomach that I can fight with these guys and be competitive again.
“The biggest thing I took back was confidence afterꦕ Australia. Fighting with the front guys is always different, it’s a different strategy and racing. It’s something I needed to brush up on my skills a little bit, learning again in the race in the moment.
“Also, being on the grid, thinking I could potenti𓂃ally go on the podium is a whole different mental game. Then raci💃ng and battling with those guys was really nice.
“Overtaking Alvaro [Bautista] one time, overtaking Toprak, being on🌺 the back of Bulega and Iannone, it was a great feeling to be back in that area of racing and that’s what I race for.”
