Injury at Estoril prematurely ends Remy’s 2024 season

Remy Gardner’s 2024 campaign has sadly ended with an injury sustained at the penultimate round of the 2024 FIM Superbike World Championship at Circuito Estoril, Portugal.

As the challenging weather conditions, both FP3 and the Tissot Superpole sessions were held in wet and damp conditions, with Remy qualifying 16th on the grid.

An improvement in weather saw Race 1 as only the second dry session of the weekend, meaning an almost-blind approach to set-up and pace.
Remy became caught up in the scrapping pack in the early stages and was involved in an incident on Lap 2, crashing out of contention.

He was taken to the medical centre where it was confirmed he had sustained a fracture to the hamate bone in the left wrist, bringing the Australian rider’s weekend to a premature end. He will now head to Barcelona for further checks on the wrist, but it is expected he will miss the final round in Jerez next week.

Superpole: P16 / Race 1: DNF

“That’s a disappointing way to finish our season, unfortunately. We struggled in the Superpole with tricky conditions and our starting grid position surely didn’t help us in Race 1. We were confident in the dry and I thought I could make a good comeback, but after just one lap I got involved in an incident and I crashed. Unfortunately, I have broken my wrist, which brings our weekend to an early end and probably the season with the final round only next week, which isn’t the way I wanted to finish the year.”
