P8 for Remy in Jerez Race 1
The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team was back in action today at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, securing valuable results on Spanish soil. Remy Gardner crossed the line in eighth place.
After a strong Free Practice 3, where Remy finished sixth, he headed into the Tissot Superpole session with confidence. In the 15-minute qualifying shootout, Remy pushed hard to claim a solid sixth place on the grid (later upgraded to fifth due to another rider’s absence) with a 1’37.780 lap.
In Race 1, he made an excellent start and immediately joined the fight for the podium positions. Unfortunately, his rear brake stopped working after four laps, costing him some pace, but he still maintained a consistent rhythm to bring home an important eighth-place finish.

– Superpole: P6 / Race 1: P8“It’s been a bit of a bittersweet Saturday, to be honest. We definitely had the pace to fight for more. After a pretty good Superpole, I was confident we could battle for a strong result in Race 1, but I lost the rear brake which slowed me down mid-race. Still, we managed to finish eighth and gather good points. We know what to work on for tomorrow, and I’m confident we can fight closer to the front. Let’s stay positive and push for a strong season finale!”
