Remy concludes tricky Aragon weekend with a points finish
A tricky weekend for the GYTR GRT Yamaha team concluded on Sunday at Motorland Aragon with Remy Gardner salvaging a point in the final feature race.
Following the Warm Up session in the morning, the GYTR GRT Yamaha riders, Remy Gardner and stand-in teammate Marvin Fritz, were ready to attack in the Tissot Superpole Race. In the 10-lap contest, Remy gave it all, battling until the very end for a top nine spot. After showing strong speed, he finished 13th at the chequered flag.
Afterwards, he enjoyed a strong launch in Race 2 starting from 13th on the grid. The Aussie showed decent pace, but unfortunately struggled with grip in the latter stages of the race. The 26-year-old managed to salvage a point-scoring position at the end, crossing the line in 15th.
The team will be back in action for Round 11 of the FIM Superbike World Championship at Estoril in two weeks’ time.

– Superpole Race: P13 / Race 2: P15“We tried our best today, but it was another complicated day. In the sprint race the overall race pace was not bad and we could stay close to the guys battling for the top nine. That made us confident for Race 2, but I struggled again with grip in the latter stages, so it wasn’t an easy race at all. We managed to salvage a point, but that’s for sure where we want to be. Let’s just focus on the next round, hoping we could enjoy the last two rounds.”
