The rapid rise of Scott Redding
Trained in the Rookies Cup, Scott Redding began to shine in Minibike at the age of 8. Four years later, the British rider was already racing in the Spanish Championship in the Calypso Cup.
He then lined up in the national 125 championship where the manager of the BQR Blusens team noticed him.
Vice-champion of Spain in 2007, he was only 15 years old when he signed up for his first Grand Prix season under the banner of the Spanish team. Gifted, the Briton made a sensation by winning on the Donington circuit to become the youngest Grand Prix winner of all time, thus breaking the record held by Marco Melandri since 1998 (a record that stood until 2018).
Best rookie and 11th in the championship in 2008, Redding unfortunately failed to move up a gear in 2009.
Handicapped by his size and weight on his frail 125, he scored only half the points he had earned the previous season.
Michael Bartholemy approached him in December 2009 to offer him a place in the new Moto2 Marc VDS team Racing.
Granado, in search of the MotoE title
He then had an impressive first season with two victories that led him to third place in the overall standings.
A discreet seventh in 2020, he bounced back in 2021 with two victories and another podium, although a disappointing final race relegated him to fourth place in the overall standings.
In 2022, he was once again in the running for the title but ended up losing it to Dominique Aegerter. For 2023, his goal was to become the first MotoE world champion in history with the LCR E-Team, but despite his efforts, four podiums including a victory in Italy, he ultimately finished seventh due to an injury sustained in the World Superbike Championship, which he also competed in parallel with the MIE Racing Honda team.
The 2024 season of the rider SHARK was very busy. In addition to competing in the MotoE World Championship, which he finished 10th with four podiums, he became a five-time Brazilian Superbike champion.
For 2025, Granado is back in MotoE with the goal of capitalizing on his experience to finally claim the crown on the electric Ducati V21L.
