Dominique Aegerter and Remy Gardner are set to return to action at the Aut\u00f3dromo Internacional do Algarve (Portim\u00e3o), Portugal, for Round 2 of the 2025 FIM Superbike World Championship on March 28-30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the season opener in Australia, the GYTR GRT Yamaha riders faced a challenging start but still managed to collect valuable points and demonstrate strong pace at the iconic Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Aegerter secured solid finishes in both races, while Gardner impressed in the Superpole Race with a competitive performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the Portuguese Round, the team took part in a productive two-day test at the same venue on March 14-15. Gardner was in the mix throughout, finishing the test with the fifth-fastest time, while Aegerter completed a solid number of laps, gathering crucial data for the race weekend. Both riders are eager to translate their progress into strong results in Round 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Friday\u2019s free practice sessions and Superpole qualifying, Race 1 will take place on Saturday at 14:00 local time (WEST), with Race 2 scheduled for the same time on Sunday, following the Superpole Race at 11:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominique Aegerter:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re finally back racing after the season opener, and I can\u2019t wait to get the weekend underway. It was great to have some testing time in Portim\u00e3o recently, as we were able to collect valuable data. I\u2019m confident we can make the most of it to put together a strong Round 2. Our goal is to push hard from the start, be fast and consistent throughout all sessions, and improve our overall performance. I also hope for good and stable weather.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remy Gardner:<\/strong> \u201cWe had a really good test a few days ago, which gives us confidence heading into Round 2. Our overall pace was promising, and I can\u2019t wait to get back on track at the Portim\u00e3o rollercoaster. Hopefully, the weather will be on our side. It\u2019ll be important to start strong on Friday to build momentum for a solid race weekend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
