Redding was involved in the battle for the lead in the early stages of the race, and dropped off the back of the leading group when his right hand went numb and made it difficult to brake and open the throttle with any feeling.
Redding said, "I felt good, the bike was good and I got away from the line okay, but then I started having problems with my throttle hand. When I was tucked in on the bike it started to go numb, as if something was pressing on a nerve somewhere. I let a couple of people through so that I could relax a bit and see if it improved, but it just wouldn't go away. It meant I was struggling with feeling, both on the gas and on the brakes, which was losing me time in every corner. It's disappointing because without this problem I know I could have been up there and battling at the front today."
