The Team

MGM Bonovo Racing

Michael Galinski Motorradsport (MGM) has established itself in recent decades, particularly in the International German Motorcycle Championship. Michael himself was a successful racer for many years, winning the German Superbike championship title in 1986 and finishing runner-up in the German Superbike championship in 1989. He has been responsible for the team's involvement in the IDM since 2004 and can look back on numerous achievements.

In 2020, MGM joined forces with Bonovo action, a company owned by Jürgen Röder, who had already developed an unbridled passion for sidecar racing earlier. Thanks to the support of Bonovo action, the team was expanded and competed for years with, among others, the eight-time Sidecar World Champion from England, Tim Reeves, as well as great Sidecar riders such as the Dutchman Bennie Streuer, the Finn Pekka Päivärinta and the multiple German Champion, Josef Sattler.

Jonas Folger was the first rider to compete for Bonovo action in two-wheel racing in 2020, initially in the International German Motorcycle Championship, where, with the Superbike title in his pocket, he switched to BMW and to the Superbike World Championship together with Bonovo action in 2021.


In 2022, the Bonovo action BMW Racing Team secured the services of Northern Irishman Eugene Laverty and Frenchman Loris Baz. While the former, in well-deserved racing retirement, held a leading position in the team, Baz rode another year in WorldSBK alongside Garrett Gerloff. The talented Texan, who took pole position for the first time for Bonovo action BMW Racing in the 2023 Superbike World Championship, was also riding in the German team in 2024, where he achieved a first ever podium for the German outfit with P3 in Magny-Cours, followed by another rostrum in third position at MotorLand Aragon. His team-mate in 2024, Scott Redding, who joined the crew last season with a wealth of experience in the 125cc World Championship, Moto2, MotoGP, the British Superbike Championship and WorldSBK. The Brit managed to claim a fourth at his home round in Donington Park and got two front row starts on his list of success.


With Bonovo action withdrawing from team ownership in 2025, Michael Galinski Motorradsport takes over the team, reducing the outfit to one rider with Scott Redding but eventually still manages to count on the support of Jürgen Röder and Bonovo action as a strong partner and friend. In addition to a changed structure, the German squad also changes manufacturer in 2025 and is happy to count on the Ducati Panigale V4 R, piloted by Redding, who already won a total of 12 races aboard the Italian machine in 2020 and 2021.

Rider

Scott Redding
(United Kingdom, *04.01.1993 Gloucester)

Scott Redding has been a household name on the motorcycle racing scene for a decade and after two years and twelve victories in WorldSBK, he will remain with MGM Bonovo Racing in 2025.

The now 32-year-old was only 15 years when he entered the MotoGP paddock for the first time to take part in the 125cc World Championship in 2008. He set the fastest lap in his debut race and took just eight races to win for the first time as he conquered Donington Park to become the youngest race winner in GP history - a record he held for over a decade.

In 2010, Redding moved up to Moto2 and took two podiums in his first year. The Englishman then moved up to the premier class in 2014, a series in which he would settle in for a full five years. Two third places were his best results. After a tough final year, Redding returned to the British Superbike series and won the series, which earned him promotion to the 2020 Superbike World Championship with the Ducati Factory Team.

After helping the Aruba.it Racing - Ducati team to the team championship in 2020, Redding was a title contender in 2021 before eventually finishing third. With BMW and their M 1000 RR, Redding took a total of three podiums in 2022 and struggled a little more in 2023. Together with Bonovo action BMW Racing, he earned a best finish of fourth at his home round in Donington Park 2024 and managed to claim a front row start at the same venue and in Magny-Cours as well. Switching back to the Ducati Panigale V4 R, the Brit targets a comeback to the top in 2025.
