Britain’s Scott Redding is taking a realistic approach to this weekend’s Motorland Aragon MotoGP round, saying that although his debut podium at Misano was a fantastic, it will be a top-ten result he is looking for in Spain.

The Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Honda rider is under no illusions about the Misano podium, which came in extremely tricky conditions and in a race where many of the front-runners, including Redding himself, were forced to change bikes twice due to the changing weather.

This weekend the 22-year-old Briton has two clear goals. The first is to secure an automatic place in QP2 by finishing inside the top ten in FP3 on Saturday morning and the second is to back that up with a top ten finish in Sunday’s 23-lap MotoGP race.

“It was a great feeling to stand on the MotoGP podium for the first time in Misano, but we need to be realistic about what we achieved there. The conditions were probably the most difficult any of us have ever raced in and I was lucky enough to be able to take advantage with the two bike changes,” said Redding.

“We will approach this weekend in Aragon with the same goals as always; to be inside the top ten in free practice, go straight into QP2 on Saturday afternoon and then push for a top ten finish in the race on Sunday.”
