Remy closes his Magny-Cours weekend with a solid sixth finish
Remy Gardner recovered from a tough weekend to enjoy a strong run to sixth place in the final feature race at the Circuit de Nevers, Magny-Cours.
Despite a wet morning Warm-Up, as soon as the riders headed to the grid for the Tissot Superpole Race the sun began to shine, presenting the first dry race of the weekend for the Superbike class. Remy enjoyed a strong race, managing to make his way through the field in the 10-lap contest to claim ninth place, improving his position on the grid for Race 2.
Remy and stand-in teammate Alessandro Delbianco had to start from ninth and 17th on the grid for Race 2, with both gaining positions at the start. Remy showed strong race pace in the 21-lap contest, fighting for the top six throughout – a position he would secure with some strong moves in the latter stages of the race, crossing the line sixth.

SPRC: P9 / Race 2: P6“It’s been a more positive day than yesterday! We achieved our goal in the sprint and I was able to start from the third row in Race 2. Then, our race pace was not so bad and I could enjoy some good battles to finish with a sixth position. We’re looking for more, but considering where we started, we should take this as a good Sunday.”
