Remy takes P8 in strong Race 1 showing at Assen

Remy Gardner delivered a strong showing in Race 1 at the iconic TT Circuit Assen, claiming valuable points for GYTR GRT Yamaha with eighth-place finishes, respectively.

The day began with a productive Free Practice 3, where Remy impressed with a 1’33.645 to go fifth fastest, while Aegerter posted a 1’34.442 to place 13th. Both riders carried that momentum into the Tissot Superpole session. Remy secured eighth on the grid with a 1’33.169, with Aegerter just behind in 11th after a tight session where less than a tenth separated him from seventh.

At lights out in Race 1, both riders endured a tough start—Remy dropping to 10th and Aegerter to 12th on the opening lap. However, the pair quickly settled into a strong rhythm over the 21-lap contest, showcasing consistent pace and battling hard to climb up the order. By the closing stages, both were fighting for a spot in the top five. In the end Remy crossed the line in eighth.

– Superpole: P8 / Race 1: P8

“I pushed hard in Superpole to get a solid grid spot. Eighth on the third row wasn’t perfect, but it gave us a fighting chance. At the start, I got a bit boxed in and had to work hard to recover positions. It was a real challenge to overtake, and I had to push a lot to stay with the front group. I was struggling for grip in the closing laps after pushing so hard earlier to offset the areas where we were lacking speed, which made it tough to attack for a top five. Still, we’ve got two more chances tomorrow, and I’m confident we can fight at the front.”
