Remy finishes in P17 in Aragon Race 1

Remy Gardner showed competitive pace throughout Race 1 of the Aragon WorldSBK weekend, but was unfortunate to miss out on a points finish after being forced wide on the final lap.

Remy had looked set for a positive result after qualifying 15th and lining up 13th on the grid. The Australian made a strong start and remained in the fight for points throughout the race, running close to teammate Manzi and showing encouraging race pace. Unfortunately, Gardner’s efforts were undone on the final lap when contact from another rider forced him wide at Turn 12. The incident dropped him down the order, with 17th at the finish and denying him the points his performance deserved.

The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team will return to action on Sunday for the final day of competition at MotorLand Aragón, with the Superpole Race scheduled for 11:10 local time, followed by Race 2 at 15:30.

– Superpole: P15 / Race 1: P17

“It’s frustrating because our race was heavily compromised by another rider on the final lap. Overall, the pace was decent and I felt competitive throughout the race. I was preparing to make a move and challenge for more positions in the closing stages, but after being forced wide at Turn 12 I lost several places and the opportunity to score points. It’s disappointing, but we still have another day ahead and I’m confident we can bounce back and fight for a stronger result on Sunday.”
