An early opponent who beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez when they were teenage up-and-comers has described how important it is to rec🐷eive backing.

Scott Redding still forged out a career at the highest level of motorcycle racing, where he remains, in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship.

But he looks back at his ear🦄ly days - when he was good enough to out-perform Marquez - as a key turning point.

“We grew u💝p racing each other. I spent a lot of time beating him on 125ccs,” Reddin💙g told the Motorsport Republica podcast.

“But then he had a lot of m꧙oney and backing from Red Bull and Repsol, and I had basically nothing.

“He went into a factory KTM team which was built for him. That foll♑owed throughout his career.

“I had a management who di🌜dn’t know the sport - what I should be sayi𒉰ng, doing, what I should be wearing.

“I was the wild child, I wasn’t obeying rules. For me, rules are to be broken! That’s how I looked at it, that’s why I have the personalꦦity that I have.

“You see how it changed our careers. If I had it diffe🎃rent, m💙y career would have turned out differently.

“But I wouldn’t change it because it has made me who I a꧋m today.”

Redding became the youngest grand prix winner ever in 2008, 🔥aged 15, when h𓆏e won the 125cc race at Donington Park.

Marquez was among the rivals left trailing 🦩in his wake on that hist🃏oric day.

But Marquez’s talent was𒁏 obvious too and, two years later, he won the 125cc title. Redding had stepped into Moto2 by ಞthen.

The esteemed Marquez went on to become an eight-time world champion, and is vyin𓆉g for a ninth this year.

Redding spent five years in MotoGP on a Honda, a Ducati and an Aprilia. He switched to the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:British Superbike Championship which he won at the first attempt in 2019.

He then finished third in WorldSBK on a Ducati in 2021 and, after a bad spell at BMW, 💟he is rediscovering his for✃m after jumping back on a Ducati this year.
