MarcVDS Moto2 championship leader Scott Redding is expecting his toughest race weekend of the season at the Jerez MotoGP round with the home riders desperate to do well in front of a partisan crowd.
Redding dismisses his series lead as 'names on a piece of paper' at this stage of proceedings and while he says he would like to win at the Andalucian track, points make prizes so leaving Jerez with the lead will be job done so far as he is concerned.
"Jerez promises to be a tough weekend, one of the toughest of the season. A lot of riders are fast at this track and the Spanish riders in particular are always keen to do well at home. After just two races the championship is just names on a piece of paper, but at least it shows we've started strongly and that we can be in the hunt for the title," said Redding.
"If I'm in with a shout of winning races then I'll go for it, but this year it's not about winning every race, it's more about scoring points every weekend. That's what we did in Texas and that's how we'll continue. If I can come away from Jerez still leading the championship then I'll be satisfied."
