IN THE WIND P60 Redding Triples Up at Donington Park S cott Redding (Ducati) took his first win in the British Superbike Championship in race one at Donington Park, May 25-26, then promptly backed it up with the race two and three victory to storm into a six-point lead in the championship. Redding—at the track of his 2008 125cc Grand Prix win in which he became the then youngest- ever Grand Prix winner at 15 years old—was in imperious form at Donington, with his race-one victory marking him as the 50th rider to seal a BSB race victory. "This is massive," said the Be Wiser Ducati rider. "I believe in myself again. It's something I've found difficult to do in recent years. I told everyone that I should be winning at Donington, so I didn't look at it as pressure because I felt good."

Redding now leads the series on 115 points from Bridewell on 109, Mackenzie on 108, Brookes (74) and Fores (70).

We'd rather have a portfolio of successful companies with complete independence than force them to integrate, which turned out to be detrimen- tal to several of our brands," said Hugh Charvat, CEO of Motors- port Aftermarket Group. "While our business units will continue to collaborate where helpful, there will be no corpo- rate mandate to do so. And we'll ensure complete independence between Tucker Powersports, J&P Cycles and our four other
