Blusens Aprilia rider Scott Redding says he is going to push as hard as he can in the Jerez MotoGP 125cc race and try and get a good result at the first of the European races after disappoinment at Qatar and Motegi.

The 2008 British Grand Prix winner favours the Spanish track and set a good pace during pre-season testing at the Andalucian circuit.

“In Jerez I am going to push as hard as I can, it will be an important race because it is the first in Europe. I hope the bike works well and then we can see where I am and what I can do. This is a circuit that I like, it is not bad at all, and the atmosphere is really crazy," said the teenager.

"The fans are some of the most enthusiastic around, so we will have to try and make them happy. I hope that the weather is good too so that we can get a good set up and then things should go better. We`ll see how things go.”
