At Yamaha, we are convinced that we have made a good deal by recovering a Remy Gardner damaged by his first experience in MotoGP with KTM. The Australian was signed to fight on the R1 in WSBK in the Iwata brand's satellite team, and the supervisor of the troops gathered there under the tuning fork coat of arms that is Andrea Dosoli thinks that in 2023, we will talk about who will once again be a rookie on a starting grid…
Andrea Dosoli is already impatient to see what his new recruit will give Remy Gardner riding one of his R1s in WSBK. On GP One, he thus indicates that the Australian is not a hiring by default, but rather the realization of a strong desire to enlist him.
He explains thus: “ first of all, Rémy is a world champion and that means that in addition to speed, he has something extra: the ability to know how to manage stress and tension. This year he raced in MotoGP with results below expectations, but we know that it was not in a simple context. I am convinced that riding our R1 he will have all the qualities to surprise and be strong ».
« Remy Gardner is two years younger than Toprak Razgatlioglu and at Yamaha we have to look to the future«
He confides the moment of truth which led to his signature at the bottom of a contract marking his entry into the family Yamaha through the door of WSBK : " I met him in Misano, we spoke to him and his motivation was something that struck me positively. Ultimately, he's a young man two years younger than Toprak Razgatlioglu and at Yamaha, we have to look to the future ».
Andrea Dosoli ends on the one who will be replaced, the American Garrett gerloff who will serve BMW next year : " he is a very good boy and the journey we shared together will remain forever engraved in me. We have worked a lot and I think he is one of the best riders in SBK. On both sides, however, there was a need for change to overcome these difficulties which had been going on for some time ". In fact since a race at Assen where he hung Toprak Razgatlioglu for the account. Then severely criticized by Yamaha , he has never been the same since.
