Redding will ride number 45 for Michael Bartholemy’s VDS Racing team in Moto2 whilst Smith and Webb both retain their places in 125s.
In MotoGP, there are a couple of number changes, with Dani Pedrosa reverting back to the number 26 plate that he last used in 2007 whilst Marco Melandri changes from 33 to 24. Ben Spies will revert back to his preferred number 11 plate after using number 19 in World Superbikes last year.
