DNF for Remy in Magny-Cours Race 1

The GYTR GRT Yamaha riders put a damp Free Practice 3 session to good use at Magny-Cours today, getting in laps ahead of the wet Tissot Superpole. In tricky conditions though, Remy Gardner couldn’t climb higher than 13th (1’55.993)

With skies dark closing in and drops of rain falling on the track, tyre choice was a difficult decision on the grid for Race 1, with Remy opting to tackle the race on full slicks

Remy enjoyed a strong getaway, crashing unfortunately on his way to stop for the flag-to-flag procedure; he was able to remount and change to wet tyres, but another crash with four laps to go ended his race prematurely.

Superpole: P13 / Race 1: DNF

“It’s been a disappointing day, not gonna lie. Rain could have turned things around, but it wasn’t the case. I struggled in the Superpole qualifier and Race 1 didn’t tell a different story. We’ll try to check the data and make some adjustments for tomorrow, but once again weather will play a key role as happened today, so we got to be confident that everything can happen.”
