The GYTR GRT Yamaha pair returned to action this morning with Warm Up, where the Swiss rider concluded the session with 10th and a 1’26.853, while his Australian teammate was 16th, clocking a 1’27.424.
For the first race of the day, the Tissot Superpole Race, the pair started from sixth and 18th on the grid, and both Aegerter and Gardner enjoyed a decent getaway. Both tried their best in the 10-lap contest to gain top nine placements, showing consistent race pace, but they couldn’t climb higher than 11th and 15th.
That meant the #77 and the #87 had to start from 10th and 18th on the grid for the final feature race of the weekend, but the GYTR GRT Yamaha duo gave it all, battling for more points in a race which also had a red-flag stoppage. Aegerter fought back to 11th at the end, while Gardner recovered six places to cross the line just behind in 12th.
