Moto2 World Championship leader Scott Redding is almost assured to make the move to MotoGP in 2014, electing to make a decision on his future in the premier class after the Sachsenring race.
The Brit has a number of offers on the table to consider, each with their own merits, according to a report from Motorcycle News.
Redding is reportedly in line for a seat at factory Ducati after a successful test on the Italian brand’s current-spec Desmosedici.
Another option is a move to Fausto Gresini’s Honda squad to ride the new production RCV213V which will be introduced from 2014.
There is further potential for Redding to remain with the Marc VDS squad and ride either a factory-spec Ducati, a leased Yamaha YZR-M1 or a production version of the RCV213V.
“I will wait until after Germany to decide because I don’t want to get my brain into thinking about MotoGP too much when I am fighting for the Moto2 title,” said Redding.
“At the moment it is all talk and if the Honda thing works good then I think that might be the better option but the Yamaha with your own chassis is a bit of a grey area.”
Redding is adamant the move be made with conviction, and to a team or machine that is a proven competitor.
“I don’t want to be doing this and I want to go into MotoGP and be competitive like Marc (Marquez),” he added. “It is going to be a hard decision because I need to make the right steps now.”
Redding’s manager and Marc VDS chief Michael Bartholemy said the offers would be considered on the basis of 2014 and beyond, noting that “…it is crucial that we make the right choice.”
