Silverstone (UK), 4th August 2024
Today, Remy Gardner was decked out in the special MotoGP 75th Anniversary colour scheme created by Yamaha Motor Racing as he completed his wild-card experience with the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Test Team. He finished the 20-lap Race at the Silverstone Circuit in 18th place.
Gardner had a decent start from P22 and soon moved up to 18th place. Much like during the Sprint, the Yamaha rider was engaged in battle with Takaaki Nakagami. He managed to keep his Japanese rival at bay for a few laps, but ultimately had to let him pass. The Australian then focused on his own riding. With Joan Mir retiring from the race with 9 laps to go, Gardner crossed the finish line in 18th position, 59.137s from first, and with useful feedback for the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Test Team.
