Scott Redding returns to PBM Ducati colours

It wasn't the weekend we wanted, but we’re now focused on recovery. The third round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship came to an early end for the Hager PBM Ducati team following Glenn Irwin's crash at Turn Nine during Saturday’s Free Practice 3. Unfortunately, Glenn sustained fractures to his pelvis and hip socket in the incident and was unable to take part in the remainder of the weekend. After lengthy discussions with his medical team earlier this week, Glenn is now scheduled to undergo surgery on his sacrum (pelvic region) this Thursday morning. We understand the serious nature of this injury and our heartfelt thoughts and best wishes are with Glenn and his family during this difficult time. Following the procedure, we’ll be focusing on his recovery with an intensive rehabilitation plan. Until that gets underway, it’s not possible to predict a timeline for his recovery and his return to the Hager PBM Ducati team and the British Superbike Championship. The understanding from the sponsors, series organisers and all our fans at this difficult time is most appreciated, and the team is working hard on finding a suitable stand-in rider with the aim of being back on track at Knockhill. Every message, every cheer – it’s all helping more than you know. We’ll be back stronger.
