Form man Redding relishing fresh challenge in Portimao

Scott Redding is setting his sights🃏 on more silverware just days after securing his first trophie🍸s in the WorldSBK Championship as the series heads west from Jerez to the Portimao circuit in Portugal.

The Briton ascended 🙈to the head of the 2020 WorldSBK Championship standings – five months after the opening round in Australia – by securing a pair of convincing wins on the Aruba.it Ducati Panigale V4 R in Jerez over the weekend.

With no time to enjoy his success, which put him 24-points clear of Jonathan Rea, Redding is now preparing for the challenge of Portimao, a relatively new venue for him butꦐ one that has previously been kind to the Aruba.it team aft✅er Alvaro Bautista scored a win in 2019.

“Portimao is an almost new circuit for me. I only raced here once in my career, then I came back⛄ for the tests in Januar🅺y. I must admit, though, I had good feelings. It is a track that I really like, that I find fun and the feeling in the tests was positive.

🔯“We've come from an exciting and satisfying weekend and I🍷 can't wait to get on my Ducati Panigale V4 R on Friday morning.”

Though somewhat overshadowed by Redding, Jerez represented a posi🍌tive return to form for Chaz Davies after scoring a podium 📖in the final race of the weekend.

"I hope I can confirm the positive trend we had in Jerez de la Frontera. Last year we achieved a good result on this track as🍸 I finished second in Race 1.

“I think we have improved a lot compared to that race and I am sure we have all the credentials ✃to do well. The weather conditions will be different here. We are ready and determined to face this weekend.”
