Scott Redding is determined to turn up the heat this weekend at his home round of the ZYN British Superbike Championship as the Hager PBM Racing Team rider returns to the Hampshire circuit for the first time since his title-winning campaign in 2019.
Redding arrives at his home round holding second in the standings, determined to close the deficit to Kyle Ryde. The last time Redding lined up at Thruxton he had a best result of second place to Andrew Irwin in the opening race by just 0.223s, and he returns this weekend ready for battle.
Redding said: “Thruxton is more of a home race for me as it is pretty local. It is a track that I enjoy but it is also difficult for everyone with the tyres, but it makes it interesting for everyone in the race. I am looking forward to the weekend; it is looking like it is going to be very hot, which will suit me a little bit more as well. I am looking forward to having a good weekend and having the fans out in force.”
