Scott Redding’s SUV broken into by French thieves during European trip

After making an appearance at EICMA last week, Scott Redding’s trip through Europe has hit a major low after his SUV was broken into during an overnight stay in France.

The 2026 BSB runner-up revealed the extent of the damage during a post on social media, saying: 

“What's the point guys? There's a baby seat in there. So I was in France last night and I've woke up this morning to this. We had the baby seat in there and they've broken through the window.”

It's unclear whether the damage was caused by one person or if a group of individuals were involved with breaking into Redding’s vehicle.

The baby seat that is regularly used by Redding’s son appears to have been stolen during the attack on his SUV.

Aside from the right passenger window, it does not appear as though any other damage was caused by the criminal/criminals.

This comes after France continues to be affected by major protests across the country. The protests have been ongoing for weeks due to unrest over the cost of living and its public services.

Redding, who recently completed his third season in the British Superbike Championship, narrowly missed out on the 2026 title to Kyle Ryde, who is switching to Honda Racing UK for 2027.

Both Ryde and Redding were the two star performers throughout the 2026 campaign with their Ducati Panigale V4 machines.

Meanwhile, Ryde will be looking to become the first rider ever to win four BSB titles in succession. Niall Mackenzie is the only other rider to have won three BSB championships in a row.

Ryde is also aiming to win the BSB title with a third different manufacturer in four years, which would be Honda's first since 2013 when Alex Lowes was crowned champion, if Ryde is successful in his title defence next year.
