Scott Redding is back on a Duca♒ti after three difficul🍰t years at BMW.

The British rider is seventh in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship heading into thi🌜s weekend’s third round at Assen.

MGM Bonovo Racing rider Redding finished insꦫide the top 10 three times in Australia but found Portugal far tougher,🐠 and conceded his adaption back onto a Ducati hasn’t always been easy.

“After three seasons that were quite diff♌icult for me, now I’m back here with Ducati and it feels really nice,” Redding said.

“It feels good to be back feeling myself on♉ the bike and able to ride in my own style.

“It’s something that motivates me going into races, whenꦰ I go home and train, I feel like I have 🅰a good package of people and a good bike around me. This is the direction I’m looking for.”

Despite the improved feeling versus previous years, Redding admitted that adapting back to the 🔜Ducati hadn’t be🌜en perfectly straightforward.

“Adapting back to the Ducati was❀ a ⛎little bit difficult,” he said.

“Honestly, I thoug💧ht I was going to get on the bike and would immediately be there. I had a bit of a shock when I wasn’🐼t feeling really perfect.

“ꩵSlowly, that’s been coming. It took a bit longer than expected but it’s not a big deal🗹.”

Part of the difficulty in making the adaptation bac🤪k to the Panigale had been about the lack of time in preseason testing.

“In testing, we di�ꦏ�dn’t have a lot of time,” Redding explained.

“I probab🎃ly had three days in not perfec꧂t track conditions.

♕“I’m understanding the setup of the bike because it’s moved on a little bit more, the electronics and the way they’re working, and the ty✃res have changed.

“I used the same tyres with the different bike, but th🐼e feeling was different when I came back. It was just trying🍨 to figure out all the feelings and possibilities, which took a bit longer than expected.”

Reddinౠg added that there are “a lot” of differences between the Ducati he ha🙈s returned to and the BMW he rode previously.

“The difference between the bike I used for the past three years and the one I’m riding now – there’s🔯 a lot,” he said.

“It’s like night and day when you’re on the bike riding. For me, I feel a better front feeling with the Duc🎶ati, but other guys have gone on to the other bik♋e and said they have better front feeling.

“In🧸 a way, you have differences but it’s a🎐lso down to what a rider prefers and what you think is good.”
