Last of the four BMW riders in the WorldSBK standings, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Scott Redding is h♏oping for a big bounce back this weekend at Assen.

After seeing Toprak Razgatlioglu win twice at Barcelona in just his second round with the German brand, 🍃and watching Michael Van Der Mark take his M 1000 RR to P4 in Race 2, Redding has nowhere to hide.

Redding has also been out-performed by team-mate Garrett Gerloff, butꦬ the former BSB champion is ‘feeling good’ ahead of Asse🌠n.

“I don’t want to go with too much expectation because I’ve been bitten in the arse a few times with that but I’m 🀅feeling good for Assen,” Redding revealed.

“It’s a track that I’m good at and my hunger and motivation are quite high for right and wrong reasons: knowing the bike can do it but it’s not me there doing 🍃it.

“That makes me hungry to be there to achieve it myself. The package has the potential so my goal is top six or top five and if we g♎et them, then we can go home happy.&n🌊bsp;

“If you’re in those positions, then you’༒re fighting for a podium. I’m not scared of a battle or a fight when the result is there to be taken.”

An area where Redding has struggled since join𒀰ing BMW is Superpole, which has again been the case in 2024.

Redding has not qualified inside the top ten during the first two rounds, and the British rider admits it’s something he needs t🅘o address this weekend.

Redding said: “Superpole is probably one of the most important sessions of the race weekend, it really can make it o🦄r break it.

“It’꧋s one of the most stressful parts of a race weekend because you don’t have a lot of time to 🐎get it right.

“You only really get two chances and you have to pull it togeth👍er. We have to be consistent through𒈔 the races; it gets a bit chaotic at the start with some of these younger guys coming in; they’re trying to win the race in the first lap and it’s a bit crazy to be honest.

“When you🍷 don’t qualify at the front, you’re in the midst of all that and it’s qui𓂃te sketchy. 

“I’m more mature now and for me, you get points at the end of the race, not in the gravel on Lap 1 but then there✃’s always a knock-on effect.

“You need good starts, first l⛄aps ඣand then you work on race pace.” 

On the other side of the 🃏Bonovo Action BMW garage, Garret Gerloff is aiming to build on the pace he’s shown in 2024.

The American has at times been extremely quick, although that same spe꧙ed has not consistently delivered the results expected.

“I’m looking forward tไo Assen,” stated Gerloff. “It’s a track that I really enjoy and a track that I feel that I flow very well with. 

“I think also that with some of the changes we have made with the bike it will be a good track for t💫he BMW M 1000 RR and something that I can flow on.

“I’m looking forward to getting to the track and to seeing my team again after a couple of weeks off and putt✨ing our heads down and try to do the best we can.”
