Congratulations to Scott Redding!

[Albert]

WOW! What can you say?
There was no home track advantage for Scott because he’s never raced at Donington before on any kind of bike! I enjoyed watching the wide, sweeping lines that he takes, very “Old School” style of riding!
Great ride from Iannone until the pressure of trying to respond to Scott closing in on him took it’s toll and he went down (thankfully unhurt) at the top of Craner.
Good fight between Mike di Meglio (future World Champ?) and Marc Marquez (a young man who makes DanI Pedrosa look positively gigantic!)
This was all coupled with some damned good racing lower down the order.

Ian McConnachie was the last British rider to take a solo GP victory at home, when he won the 80cc race at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1986. Young Mr Redding has got a BIG future -- it took Valentino Rossi 11 races to achieve his first ever win.
Scott did it in 8!
C’mon Aprilia -- give Scott and the Blusens squad some Factory parts - they deserve them!

Well i was telling everyone on Fri/Sat nights around the campfire over a few drinks that Scott was the lad to watch in the 125's and that if we were gonna get a British winner he would be the one.

Superb performance by the young man, was thrilling watching him close the gap lap after lap until the pressure told on Iannone.

Big future ahead for young Scott, brilliant ride.

Faultless - brilliant race and a deserved entry in the history books.
I'm very proud to have been there to see it.

[Jo52]

Bless him, what a great race and he was in floods of tears at the end. Well done Scott!!

Brilliant ride from young Scott, i was saying that second place would be an unbeleivable result as i could see Iannone hanging on. But a victory is magnificent and fully deserved for a faultless race.

[Dickyholdsworth]

What a fantastic win, a faultless and very mature ride from a lad just 15 years old!

[Shaun]

I'm hoping to get to see a replay of the 125's, being there you don't get to see much unless you stand near one the big screens.

[brad ray]

I've not updsated the GP Future site for a while now but Scott's win resulted in my longest news post for a long while.
That lad has a supremely mature and level head on his shoulders. He's not bigging himself up at all and presumably not taking too much pressure either. I see no reason for this not to be the start of a glittering career. The very best of luck to him.

We see Ian McConnachie every weekend at BSB meets as his son, Ben, races in the 125 class. Such a nice family, the McConnachie's, Ian still has that sparkle in his eyes when he re-lives the days, racing and winning against Aspar and Co...........
