Remy Gardner enjoyed a strong run to finish fifth in the opening race of the weekend at Autodrom Most, Czech Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GYTR GRT Yamaha riders put Free Practice 3 session to good use, getting in solid laps ahead of the Tissot Superpole qualifier. A strong Superpole for Gardner saw him secure fifth place on the grid (1\u201930.889), which meant a second row start for Race 1 \u2013 his time matching the pole position from 2023. On the other side of the garage, Dominique Aegerter struggled in the low grip conditions, qualifying 17th (1\u201931.533).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the opening race under the Most sunshine, Gardner enjoyed a strong start, joining the battle for the podium with some commanding first lap moves. He maintained a strong pace until the end of the race, fighting hard to cross the line fifth. Meanwhile, Aegerter recovered with consistent race pace, battling for points and finishing 13th at the chequered flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remy Gardner \u2013 Superpole: P5 \/ Race 1: P5
<\/strong>\u201cOverall I think we can be satisfied with the result. The qualifying was very good, I was able to make a great lap and being able to start from P5. Then, in Race 1 I had some great battles and tried to stay close with the front group, managing to build a good race overall fighting against the other riders. We\u2019ll try to improve even more tomorrow, so we\u2019re looking forward to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominique Aegerter \u2013 Superpole: P17 \/ Race 1: P13
<\/strong>\u201cIt was a complicated day to be honest. In the qualifying unfortunately we couldn\u2019t climb higher than 17th and that made things difficult for the race. I tried my best and recovered some positions going on to score some points. I think we\u2019ll have a tough Sunday as well, but we\u2019ll keep working hard to improve our performance, trying to bounce back tomorrow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
