Split by 20 years in age, Redding’s incredible rookie campaign performances have impressed Italian veteran and factory Suzuki rider Capirossi.

Redding has already caught the eye of Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner after he became the youngest rider in history to claim a GP victory and a front row in 2008.
Redding also ended Britain’s 35-year wait for a 125GP victory when he took a stunning maiden win at Donington Park’s British GP.

And Capirossi is now a big fan according to his factory Suzuki team boss Paul Denning.

“Right back from the first race in Qatar this year when he was on the front row, Scott has become a little bit of a favourite with Loris because of his lean angle in corners and his lines. Loris loves it. He thinks its fantastic and he sits watching with his mouth open and giggling watching Scott on the bike, “said Denning.
