By Luke Newman
GYTR GRT Yamaha will keep both Remy Gardner and Dominique Aegerter in their team for the 2024 WorldSBK season.
Remy Gardner and Yamaha have announced that they will be continuing their relationship together into the 2024 WorldSBK season. This will be Gardner’s second season in the WorldSBK class and his second year with Yamaha.
The Australian former Moto2 Champion will once again be partnered with the Swiss two-time World Supersport Champion, Dominique Aegerter. The 32-year-old put pen to paper to stay with Yamaha earlier in the season but which team he would be in remained a mystery. It has now been confirmed that the successful duo will remain together for a second season.
Talking about his contract renewal Gardner said: “I am really thrilled to announce my renewal with Yamaha for the 2024 season and I believe we have a promising future together.
“Next year will be my second year with the R1, and I couldn’t be happier with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team. With an additional year of experience under our belts, I have high hopes for our performance.
“I already feel right at home, so it’s a great feeling to continue this journey, and I want to express my sincere gratitude to Yamaha for this fantastic opportunity.”
Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager, Andrea Dosoli, added: “We are happy to be able to announce the extension of our partnership with Remy, and to finalise an unchanged rider line up at the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team for the 2024 season.
“We can see both the talent and the potential that Remy possesses and, although it’s been something of an inconsistent debut season for him in WorldSBK so far, we remain confident that we can achieve our goals together during the remainder of this season and the next.”
