168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Scott Redding says his “dream” for the opening round of the 2025 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike campaign is 🎉to breach the podium as the “comeback kid” on hi🥀s return to Ducati.

The Briton returns to riding Panigale machinery for the first time since he was a factory Ducati rider in 2021, having spent the la𝓡s♈t three seasons on a BMW.

Redding has gone without a podium for two years now as he ༒struggled for form on the BMW, but hopes to rebound as the MGM Bonovo squad switches to a Ducati for 2025.

“For Australia, let’s see,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“In testing it’s always difficult to get a real under🦋standing. Nicolo [Bulega] is obviously in a world of his own at the moment and he is riding really well.

“Good thing is I can kind of see a lit𓂃tle bit what he i🐽s doing, but to adapt that style will take a bit of time.

“I personally would be happy with top five - that would be a goal. Going off how testing has been for me, I thought I’d be a little bit more ahead but in two days I didn’t re🌊ally extract anything and that’s held me back a lꦉittle bit.

“But when youꦉ’re in the top five it’s always possible to fight for the podium.

“It would be a dream to be on the podium here in my first race as the ‘comeback kid’🗹.

“And for this season, progress. If I𒐪 start this race weekend and I finished 10th, it is what it is.

“Next race I want to finish ninth, eighth. I need to rebuild myself as Scott Redding and get back my r♕iding style and my speed.

“Maybe it takes a bit more time than I think, but the goal is always to improve and the goal is to try to win. This is what we want to achieve by the end of the season.🧸”

Redding was outside of the top 10 on both days testing in Australia this w🃏eek, but feels he has “a base” to work 🤡with going into the season opener.

“Adapting b𝔍ack to the Ducati♔ has been nice,” he added.

“It’s not been super easy. There have been a couple of things that 🌼my riding style that I’ve adapted in the past three years that I need to get out of, a little bit like a bad habit.

“It takes a bit of time. But sl🐈owly we are getting there.

“Honesty, pre-season has been good. A little bit more difficult adapting than I thought, but mentally I feel really goജod.

“I feel really a♏mazing with my team, I feel﷽ phenomenal with the bike.

“Obviously those two days I got were not enough, but after this last test session we had here in Phillip Island I sat down with my team and said ‘I’m happy, I൲ feel I have a base, I feel confide🐈nt that now I can work on myself and be a better rider’.

“And that felt pretty good with all the team. We made progress, so💯 if you asked me in Portimao, I’d have said ‘it will be difꦍficult’.

“But I feel now c🦩omfortable and relaxꩲed and that’s how I need to start the season.”
