The former WorldSBK runner-up in 2020 has lacked competitive consistency since moving to BMW i🎶n 2022.

Sure, there have been some very impressive performances from Redding, however, the ex-MotoGP ride𒈔r and BSB champion (2019), has not been able to showcase his best form in the last two years.

• BMW: Addition of Razgatlioglu has not made ‘t♎he pressure higher than ever’ 
• Bongers: Toprak ‘denied questions marks about BMW, gave me positive f💃eeling’

2022 was a difficult season, but 2023 was his first year in WorldSBK without a podium, which he wants to🌌 avoid being a reality again this season.

Speaking at BMW’s official presentation, Redding told WorldSBK.com: “It's pretty bad. There’s only been like two years in my career that I didn’t get a podium. It upset me a lot last year, to not achieve that goal, but it haℱppens. 

“We were working, we were developing the bike, we were doing the best we could. I think this year we need to🐠 try and double up on it, to make up for the last years. 

“With a few of the rule changes and the development we’ve done here, there ♎is potential.”

“It's just many little things, there’s not like one big t𒆙hing. Okay, we miss rear edge grip, we know it’s clear, it’s something w♛e’re always working on. 

“If we can improve that, it’s already a good step. But🧸 then it’s fine tuning: electronics, posit🎃ion, suspension… 

“There’s a lot of things that we just need to get perfect, and then we can be mo🧸re competitive.”

While the aim at BMW is to win world titles, that was made clear by their decision to go after Toprak Razgatlioglu, Redding, who made w♉ay in the factory team for the Turkish💜 star, is aiming to win a race before having such ambitions.

Redding added: “I ꧅would like to be top five, top six in the championship, and I’d like to be on the podium more regularly. 

“If I get a raꦿce win, I🃏’ll be ecstatic, but we need a couple of podiums, that’s the goal.”
