Kee⛎n to make the 2023 WorldSBK season 𒈔a four-manufacturer fight at the front, Redding has conceded BMW needs improvements quickly. 

A൩fter several impressive rounds at Donington Park, Most and Magny-Cours, Redding and BMW have found things tough ▨since then as less than 10 points have been scored by Redding in six races.

A disastrous Catalunya round where only two points were picked up by the former MotoGP rider, was followed by a P18 finish in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Race One at Portimao, 13th in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Superpole Race and seventh in Race Two.

"To be honest, the weekend was not great. We struggled again. Maybe not as much as in Barcelona, but we were still not where 🎉we want t𓃲o be," added Redding. 

"Our weak point still costs us too much time. There is not much I can do. The guys worked well to give me a better feeling in some areas and helped me with the tyre lif🍸e, so I was able to be more consistent to the end. ﷺ;

"But I need performance on the exit of the cornꦺer and at the moment there is no solution yet. We still have a lot of work to do, and everyone is working really hard. 

"But sometimes you need to🌼 go really deep to come to a solution that makes the difference. We will get there. It just takes time."

Redding was on course to secure a second P7 finish in race one before crashing on 📖the final lap. The Brit remounted but lost several positions before crossing the start-finish line. 

Redding and BMW found major steps forward at Donington Park when upgrades were brought forward, and based on where he wants to be, which is fighting the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea next season, yet more is needed.

Redding continued: "I’m pushing a lot with BMW to bring more things❀ because I want to be ready for next yearཧ. We’re improving areas but not our main point. 

"When I watch the races back, I see t𒅌hey just leave me on the exit of the corner and that’s what I feel when I’m riding. We know where we have to work but it might need some big changes."
