Britain's Moto2 title hopeful Scott Redding believes not getting a ride with Ducati in MotoGP season could have been a blessing in disguise as it has given him the chance for a final punt at the championship he craves.

The Gloucestershire youngster reckons he wants, like Marquez, to move into MotoGP as the Moto2 champion and says that this year he should have the tools to do just that.

"Definitely, for me that's the target this year, to actually really fight for the championship. Last year we said we would go top five every race, and the majority of the time we reached that. Whereas now, we decided, I decided in myself that I really need to go for a championship before moving up to MotoGP," said Redding, speaking at the MarcVDS team launch.

The Briton had been in talks to move to a Ducati team for the 2013 season and renew his rivalry with Marc Marquez, but it didn't come to frutition. The youngster is pragmatic about remaining in Moto2 and even thinks it may be the better option.

"Better to maybe do a year here. And I want to get a championship, you know, I've been there or thereabouts, but I want to be the guy on top. Then move up, I don't think I'd deserve it unless I'm second or third, but been challenging all season, then you deserve it," he said.

"You don't really deserve it unless you're fighting from the class below. So, I also put that into consideration, and it also made me think to stay. And another reason was the bikes, you know, not knowing what bike I would get. I wasn't really willing to go with the Ducati that strongly, so, you know I think we did the right thing in the big picture."
