Gardner To Make Wild-Card Entry on the Grand Prix of Japan with the Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Group
Iwata (Japan), twenty eighth September 2024
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is delighted to announce that Remy Gardner will spearhead the Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Group as a wild-card rider at Spherical 16 of the 2024 FIM MotoGP World Championship, held on the Mobility Resort Motegi.
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is happy to announce that Remy Gardner will probably be a wild-card entry within the Motul Grand Prix of Japan, Spherical 16 of the 2024 FIM MotoGP World Championship. He will probably be driving the Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Group YZR-M1 (with Monster Vitality Yamaha MotoGP livery) on the Mobility Resort Motegi circuit within the race weekend of 4 – 6 Oct.
Gardner already rode the 2024 Yamaha YZR-M1 within the German GP and the British GP, making him the perfect selection for the Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Group for his or her house GP. The previous Moto2 World Champion’s participation within the 2024 Japanese GP will probably be his first time driving on the Motegi monitor on a premier-class bike since 2022.

Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Take a look at Group Chief
Bike growth is on the coronary heart of Yamaha’s each transfer this yr. The engineers are working very exhausting, and I’m totally satisfied that this wild-card entry will speed up Yamaha’s endeavours to develop prototype components and improve bike efficiency. Remy Gardner has already efficiently examined protype objects for the M1 on two events earlier this yr, so his prior expertise makes him a logical selection in Cal Crutchlow’s absence resulting from harm.

Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing MotoGP Take a look at Group Alternative Rider
I’m actually excited to race in Japan, it’s a rustic I at all times loved visiting in Grand Prix racing, however to go to Japan and race for a Japanese producer in MotoGP in entrance of the Japanese followers will probably be one thing particular. It’s good that, after Sachsenring and Silverstone, Yamaha have requested me to return again. They clearly really feel that I deliver one thing to the event programme, so hopefully we are able to have a productive weekend in Motegi too. Will probably be a busy interval for me with 5 races in 5 weeks, however I journey bikes virtually each weekend anyway, so it’s nothing new for me!
