After replacing the injured Álex Rins in the German GP, Remy Gardner will get another chance to compete in MotoGP right after the summer break – this time as a wildcard for Yamaha in the British GP.
This participation was initially planned for Cal Crutchlow, but the British rider is sidelined with a hand injury, making him unable to ride a MotoGP bike. Gardner was chosen to fill this wildcard slot.
The rider, who usually competes in the World Superbike Championship, began by stating in a press release: ‘First of all, I just want to say that I hope that Cal can get better soon. I saw him last week, and I hope he can get back to riding and help the MotoGP project along’.
Regarding his participation in the British GP, Gardner commented: ‘Obviously, it’s a nice opportunity to get to ride the M1 again, so I’m really happy. Silverstone is a track I like, and hopefully I can give some more important feedback to Yamaha and the team and continue to enjoy the moment. Thanks to everyone at Yamaha, and I’m looking forward to riding again!’.
