Michael Van Der Mark and Scott Redding came to blows during tesꦅting at Jerez, and both riders weren’t shy in offering their views.
A late incident between 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Van Der Mark and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Scott Redding took place at the Jerez WorldSBK test, which led to contact between the BMW pair.
Contact was made after a series of overtakꦜes which was cause꧅d by both riders wanting to follow Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Redding, who left pit lane on the SCQ𝓡 tyre behind the factory BMW duo, first passed Van Der Mark before a swift response came f🤪rom the Dutchman.
The pair made contact at the final corner before going on to☂ impact each other’s next lap when Van Der Mark went up the inside again at turn one.
Speaking abo𓆏ut the incident from his point of view, Redding told WorldSBK.com: “The two factory guys went out in front, and obviously I want to try to follow Toprak; I want to learn, I want to see. I passed van der Mark twice already on the lap and he passed me back, it was one of those things.
“He was desperate to stay there, I ꩵwas desperate to stay there. I passed him into Turn 9, he passed me back and I passed him into T11.
“In the last corner, he tried to outbrake me on the 🦄outside; it was a risky move. Crazy to do that, if I were him, I would’ve just accepted it and followed me.
“Then we went up to Turn 1, I went for a late entry, and he just went up the insid🍬e, so it ruine♍d my first lap on the SCQ. I took it easy, was able to build some momentum and push again at the end and set my best lap.
“Overall, it worked out well for me. Times are tight aဣnd everyone wants to be there with the best. It wasn’t me trying to be an idiot, I just wanted t🍨o follow the best like I did last year in Superpole.
“I did everything I could to be behind the best in Superpole. I wanted to see what my full potential was. We didn’t look to go out with them, we exited the box and they exited🅰 at the same time.
“I th🐭ought it was meant to be and 🌌to make the most of it, but it didn’t really happen but there’s no hard feelings from my side.”
“He wanted to put everything on Instagram”
While Redding chose not to be too critical of Van Der Mark, the Dutch rider was left angeꦅred by Redding’s tact🐓ics.
Not holding back, Van Der Mark said: “He did nothing wrong?✃ Well, honestly, I went out and followed Toprak. All tℱhree of us went out on a SCQ and I wanted to take the tow of Toprak and I was almost in his arse.
“Scott decided to pass me halfway around the lap. I diꦿdn’t leave a gap between me and Toprak. He wanted to be between us. I passed him back again. At the last corner, he decided to dive up the inside again, ಞhit me, and he messed up Turn 1 and then he messed up my first sector.
“There’s no rule for this, it’s just disrespectful. I💞 𝔍have no words for this. It’s a test, not a race weekend.
“For himself, he wanted to prove something, put everything on Instagram again to show who’🏅s the best and have a good night’s sleep.
“I tried to♔ outbrake him on the outside before he🤡 hit me. I wanted to go in front again.”
