SCOTT REDDING
Nearly a Moto2 Champion in 2013 , a seasoned MotoGP™ rider and a true character who entered WorldSBK in 2020 as the reigning BSB Champion , Redding is what we can safely call a ‘ one-off .’ Finishing his first two WorldSBK seasons in second and third places in the title fight ( as a factory Ducati rider ) he has won 12 career WorldSBK races , part of a season-starting total of 40 podiums . Back on a Ducati in 2025 , Redding must be considered an even more serious threat than he was in the last three years aboard a BMW . After all , every one of his WorldSBK wins and all but three of his podium rides have come courtesy of the Panigale V4-R .

AXEL BASSANI
Another product of national racing and the junior classes inside WorldSBK , Bassani was rated a simply as good rider until he was the somewhat surprising pick for the Motocorsa WorldSBK team ’ s foray into WorldSBK with Ducati privateer machinery in 2021 . Axel would go on to score podiums and become the top Independent Rider more than once before joining KRT last season . His first year as a factory rider was a tough lesson in some regards , but a true learning experience . On the new Bimota KB998 for 2025 ? Anything seems possible for a rider who starts this season at 25 years of age .
