The 3000th Grand Prix in the history of MotoGP has made for great emotions at the Circuit of Jerez de la Frontera. Following a difficult start Scott Redding was the protagonist of a great comeback, ending up in 11th.

Scott made a mistake at the start that forced him in 20th position. He managed to not lose concentration, and in lap 10, after climbing to 15th, he started to lap with a great pace. In the last laps he tried to catch Valentino Rossi to win the Top 10 but the gap was too wide.

11th – Scott Redding
“Unfortunately I started badly and in the first laps I struggled a lot as I could not find rear grip. I could not push and I could not defend myself against the attacks of other riders and a contact with Baz made me turn very wide. I tried to stay focused to recover and in the end I managed to gain many positions. All in all today’s race did not go bad but it’s clear that I could do better”.
