Scott Redding hopes Donington will be “more of a circuit for me” after missing the podium at the 2026 BSB opener.
Scott Redding finished off the podium in all three BSB races at the 2026 opener in Oulton Park. Despite this, he is optimistic about his chances for better performance at Donington Park this weekend. Redding won at Oulton Park in the previous year but managed a fourth-place finish in the current season’s opener, while fellow Ducati rider Kyle Ryde swept all three races. Redding believes Donington suits him better, although he hadn’t tested there in April and acknowledges the competition’s strength at the track. The PBM team discovered a key bike setup issue at Oulton Park, with Redding confident that once resolved, he can be competitive with the front-running Ducati riders. Redding emphasized the need for improved bike setup rather than a change in his riding approach, as he aims for a stronger showing at Donington.
