The day started with the Warm Up session, where the GYTR GRT Yamaha duo kept working on race pace: the Aussie concluded in 14th (1’34.590), with his Swiss teammate 16th (1’34.942).
Unfortunately, the team’s Tissot Superpole Race hopes only lasted two corners. Aegerter got hit by another rider and went down, collecting his teammate in a dramatic incident that neither Yamaha rider could avoid. Naturally this meant their race was severely disrupted. ‘Domi’ rejoined, sitting in P21, which was also his final position following a red flag which stopped the race with three laps to go. Meanwhile, Gardner couldn’t get back on track and required a trip to the medical centre.
The pair started from 11th and 12th on the grid for Sunday’s feature race, and the GYTR GRT Yamaha riders tried their best to make their way through the field. It was a challenging one for Remy, who was cleared fit to race but had discomfort in his ankle and his back. Despite this, he battled through, recovering to P10, with his teammate Aegerter – who also battled well - just behind in 11th to add more points to his tally.
