Crash.net: Redding pleased to see Davies and Rea’s Assen confrontation
MotoGP™ rider tells Crash.net all about his visit to WorldSBK at Assen and his view on the Davies vs Rea row
Two weeks ago at Assen during the Acerbis Dutch Round MotoGP™ rider Scott Redding was a welcome guest in the WorldSBK paddock and he enjoyed his visit, especially when he saw Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing - Ducati) and Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) confront each other after an incident in SP2.
Crash.net report, the Octo Pramac Ducati rider took time out from his MotoGP schedule to attend his first World Superbike round at Assen two weeks ago and was impressed by the production-based series which he felt had a friendlier atmosphere stepping in as an outsider.
But the British rider did appreciate seeing the rivalry between Davies and Rea boil over in Superpole 2 during qualifying at Assen when the pair came to blows on and off track.
“It was the first WorldSBK race I ever went to and it was pretty cool,” Redding said at Assen. “Everyone was really chilled and the racing was good. Everyone is very calm and that's cool because it makes it a joy to go racing.
“Here in MotoGP there's so much tension but over there it's more relaxed and everyone is friends... except Chaz and Johnny at the minute! It's good to see some that though because if someone f** they should be called on it.”
