Despite low track temperatures and strong winds, the GYTR GRT Yamaha pair enjoyed dry runs throughout their Friday in the Netherlands. In the first Free Practice session, Gardner and Aegerter showed strong pace on their Yamaha R1 machines, placing themselves in 3rd (1’35.176) and 10th (1’35.558) respectively.
In the afternoon’s Free Practice 2, both riders were able to improve their performance. Although primarily focusing on long-distance runs, where both appeared to have solid race pace, Aegerter and Gardner managed to put in quick laps and place their names inside the Top 5. The Swiss rider finished 4th with a solid 1’34.600, while the Australian was just behind with a 1’34.713.
