Scott Redding’s return from EICMA took an unwelcome turn during a stop in France. His SUV was broken into overnight, and the British rider later showed the damage in a social-media post.

The vehicle’s right-side passenger window had been smashed. Redding said his son’s child seat was inside the SUV at the time and appears to have been taken. It remains unclear whether one person or several were involved, while the broken window appears to be the only damage to the vehicle.

The incident followed the 2026 British Superbike Championship season, which Redding finished in second place behind Kyle Ryde. The two riders were the leading performers across the campaign on Ducati Panigale V4 machinery. Ryde will switch to Honda Racing UK for 2027.

That move gives Ryde’s next title defence an additional historical angle. He will seek a fourth consecutive BSB championship, a feat no rider has achieved before. Niall Mackenzie is the only other rider to have put together three successive BSB titles.

If Ryde successfully defends the crown, he will be pursuing a BSB title with a third manufacturer in four years. The result would also give Honda its first championship in the series since 2013, when Alex Lowes was crowned champion.
