The Yamaha GYTR GRT satellite team will undoubtedly be one of the curiosities of the next WSBK season, which will begin in February at Phillip Island. Indeed, with two new drivers with long teeth, Dominique Aegerter and Remy Gardner, there should be some sport, starting between them, certainly rookies, but far from being fundamentally beginners. And then, in 2024, the Iwata firm will have to reflect on the fate of Razgatlioglu and Locatelli in their factory structure...
A situation which inevitably opens up perspectives and whets the appetites of the two pilots hired and all the more motivated as they are at the crossroads. So, Remy Gardner must restore its image after a disastrous first and final year in MotoGP, which nevertheless followed a world title acquired in Moto2. For Dominique Aegerter, he got back on track by forgetting the world of Grand Prix by betting on the WSS and showing himself in MotoE. Titled among the electric machines and doubly crowned with a Yamaha R6, the Swiss must continue his rise.
Between the two, there should be sparks because the supremacy of one over the other will be a strong message for the rest of their respective journeys. Dominique Aegerter make no mistake in already announcing the color: “ Obviously, I have goals that I want to achieve. One of them is to be faster than my partner. I want to beat Remy Gardner. I would like to be in the top ten, best independent rider and maybe best Yamaha at some point » we read about him on Motoracing.
Never thought I would get a present like this one, I don't deserve that much love.
It happened, @DomiAegerter77 has made me the best best present I could have asked for. I'm really grateful for the people I've met this year and you are one of them. THANKS💞 pic.twitter.com/BYpy0fyVLG— Mar Fucho (@Fuchii93) December 22, 2022
Dominique Aegerter and his new Yamaha adventure: “ I'm already a little nervous«
An ambition that also generates anxiety. agitated explains as follows: “ during the tests in Jerez, I would have preferred to ride on a dry track, because I only six opportunities before the last pre-test and the championship. We don't know what the tests in Jerez and Portimao will look like in January and February. That's why I'm already a little nervous ».
However, he adapts to the circumstances… “ I got to know the new team and we also changed my position on the saddle ". Then he finishes: “ but you need a dry track to work the set-up well. Moreover, electronics are completely new to me, they are more complex ».
