Go&Fun Honda’s Scott Redding has boosted his confidence over the past three days of MotoGP testing at Sepang and leaves Malysia after having found a good set-up direction with the production RCV1000R.

The Gloucestershire rider, who ended qith a 2’02.228 after 50 laps today, has altered his riding style to suit the Honda and removed some of the aggression required to get ahead in Moto2.

“I am very happy with how these three days of testing went! The situation has improved a lot since the first test earlier this month; we found a good direction to work on the bike and now I also feel much more confident when riding,” said Redding.

“Initially I was very aggressive, but now I'm trying to adopt a softer and smoother riding style, and this is helping me a lot also to work on the bike set-up. Today we have also seen progress under braking, where, however, we need to work on consistency, and also in terms of electronics.

“We are confident ahead of the next test in Qatar: we will start from the data collected here in Malaysia and we'll see how it goes, considering that we will face a completely different track and conditions.”
