WorldSBK: Remy Gardner’s first judgement of Jonathan Rea riding a Yamaha
The test was notable for Jonathan Rea, among others,🐲 hopping on their 2024 bike and joining their new teams.
GYTR GRT 🐬Yamaha rider Gardner was impressed by Pata Yamaha’s new recruit.
“Jonny surprised me with how fast he got on💧 with the bike,” Gardner said.
“That shows the experience he has. I’m really excited to see what Jonny can bring to the table and help develop the bik🅘e, and🐬 also for me to learn off Jonny.
“With so much experience, you can alw✃ays learn something. Really grea♉t to have Jonny with Yamaha.”
Gardner was nearly three-tenths clear of the second-fastest rider on Wednes🐬day.
His 1’38.448s lap would have been enough to claim pole position for th🃏e recent race at the same track.
He reacted: “It’s been a🦩 positive test. The pace has been really good over the two days, with the race tyre and obviously to🦋day, at the end, we put in two SCQs and did a really great lap time.
“Thereꦿ was a little ꦏbit more I could’ve done.
🐟“I made a few mistakes on that lap but quite happy with the two days went. It wasn’t a perfect lap, but it wasn’t bad.
“More than the lap, I’m happy with the improvements we’ve made over the two days with wh♒at Yamaha have brought.”
