Remy P11 on day one at Aragon
Remy Gardner and stand-in teammate Marvin Fritz returned to action as the tenth round of the 2024 FIM Superbike World Championship commenced at Motorland Aragon, Spain.
Both GYTR GRT Yamaha riders faced a demanding Free Practice 1, completing all laps with the same set of tyres throughout the 45-minute session. Remy finished in 18th place on a 1’50.812.
In the afternoon’s session, Remy and his crew prioritised race distance over out-right qualifying practice. The 26-year-old evaluated different option race tyres, while still making a consistent improvement to his lap time to finish 10th (1’49.685) in a very tight-pack Free Practice 2 – just one tenth off the top five.

“It was a challenging Friday but we keep pushing. This track is not the best for our package, but we’re not too far from the guys in front. From the morning to the afternoon, we made a good step. We evaluated the different tyre options for the races and we’ll now check the data. We’ll keep working hard to make further improvements.”
