Remy Gardner took home valuable points on the final day at the Autodromo do Algarve (Portimao), Portugal, in the seventh round of the 2024 FIM World Superbike Championship.

Following a decent warm-up, with Remy and teammate Aegerter showing promising pace, the GYTR GRT Yamaha pair were feeling confident ahead of the Superpole Race. Remy encountered an eventful start, losing positions in the opening lap. The Aussie rider tried to make his way through the field, but couldn’t climb higher than 15th.

Aegerter and Gardner started from eighth and 15th on the grid for Race 2, with both facing a challenging first lap. The GYTR GRT Yamaha duo showed then consistent race speed in the 20-lap contest, battling hard and scoring good points as Remy crossed the line in 12th at the chequered flag.

Superpole Race: P15 / Race 2: P12

“It wasn’t our weekend, it was a challenging one to be honest. I tried to push as much as I could to earn a top nine spot in the Superpole Race, but it wasn’t easy to deal with the mid-pack and unfortunately I was not able to make progress in the Superpole Race. Overall the speed was a bit better in Race 2, although not fantastic, and I managed to be consistent and bring home some points. Now it’s time to reset and focus on the next round.”
