Ahead of his return to Brands Hatch, Scott Redding has his sights set firmly on a podium for the Hager PBM Ducati squad.

Earlier in the week, it was announced that Scott Redding will be back on the Hager PBM Ducati this weekend at the fifth round of the British Superbike Championship.

The 2019 British Superbike Champion will not only be at Brands Hatch this weekend, but will remain with the team for the rest of the 2025 season.

Redding said: "I am super happy to be back for the rest of the season in BSB. The reception I got at Knockhill was amazing and even at Donington Park; the amount of people who asked me about how it was at Knockhill and said what a good job I did in those conditions, was amazing. I think the most used phrase was ‘baptism of fire’, which I think was the correct word to use for it to be honest and I couldn’t put it in any better words myself if I tried!

"It was super interesting at Knockhill. To be back for the rest of the year, now I have had a spin out on the bike at Knockhill, I know the Hager PBM Ducati is a good bike and I know the team is very good. It was a great feeling to have to be back in the BSB paddock with a team that I know and are well respected and known throughout the years.

"It felt really good at Knockhill, so I am looking forward to going to Brands Hatch, it’s not one of the easier ones and will be always be a challenge there, jumping back on with no electronics again, but I knew this is what I signed up for and I can’t wait to get to work.

"Brands Hatch is a big round with all the fans, one of the biggest races on the calendar and I can’t wait to see them all again. I will be doing the best I can, being back on the podium would be super nice and I am just absolutely buzzing to get going. Maybe even a few wheelies for the fans!"
