Top ten finish for Remy in Cremona Race One

Remy Gardner took home valuable points in the first race at the new Cremona Circuit, Italy, in the ninth round of the 2024 FIM Superbike World Championship.

In the morning, the GYTR GRT Yamaha riders put the final free practice session to good use, gearing up for Tissot Superpole. In the 15-minute qualifier session, Remy gave his bestbest to secure a good starting grid position. Unfortunately, he couldn’t climb higher than 16th (1’29.310).

As Race 1 got underway at 14:00 local time, Remy enjoyed a good getaway from 18th on the grid, due to Friday’s penalty, to gain positions in the opening lap. The #87 rider then showed consistent speed, closing on ninth position with six laps to go. Unfortunately, a red flag stoppage denied him the chance to progress further, but still recovered to a top 10 finish.

– Superpole: P16 / Race 1: P10

“It’s been a tough day and the Superpole session was one of our most challenging to date. Anyway, we managed to bounce back a little bit in Race 1 and we took home decent points. I was also able to overtake Rinaldi for ninth, but unfortunately the red flag came out before I had completed the sector, so at the end we’ve finished tenth. We’ll now check the data and see where we can improve tomorrow.”
