Remy Gardner and Stefano Manzi return to action at the Cremona Circuit in Italy this weekend, 25–27 September, for Round 10 of the 2026 FIM Superbike World Championship, marking the second home round of the season for the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team.
Following a solid weekend at Magny-Cours, Gardner is eager to continue making progress in Italy, at a circuit where he has enjoyed strong performances in the past. The Australian also took part in a one-day test at Cremona following the French Round. Although rain disrupted the session, Gardner was still able to complete some valuable laps in dry conditions ahead of this weekend’s action.
It will also be a second home round of the season for Stefano Manzi. The 2025 WorldSSP Champion is looking forward to a strong weekend on home soil, at a circuit that holds fond memories for him after securing a double victory there last year. Manzi also joined the recent test, completing some useful laps around the Cremona Circuit as he prepares for the weekend.
Following Friday’s Free Practice sessions, the WorldSBK field will return to the track on Saturday for Superpole qualifying at 11:15 local time, with Race 1 getting underway at 15:30. Sunday’s schedule features the Superpole Race at 11:10, followed by Race 2 at 15:30 local time.
Remy Gardner: “I’m looking forward to another round at a place where we’ve had some decent races in the past. After Magny-Cours, we’re confident that we can take another step forward following a positive weekend there, and I can’t wait to get back on the bike. We also had a test day in Cremona after the French Round, where we managed to complete some dry laps. Unfortunately, the rain stopped us from riding any further, but it was still useful preparation ahead of the race weekend.”
Stefano Manzi: “I’m looking forward to enjoying a good weekend in Cremona, with the goal of having some strong races there. I’ve been quick at this circuit in the past, so I hope we’ll be able to put in a strong performance again. It will also be the second home round for me and the team, so we have some extra motivation heading into the weekend. We had the opportunity to complete some laps during a one-day test after the Magny-Cours weekend, and it was good to be back on the bike, even if the session was cut short by the rain. In any case, I can’t wait to be in Cremona. See you all there!”
