GRT Yamaha Confirms Remy Gardner, Dominique Aegerter for 2025 WorldSBK
GRT Yamaha will remain unchanged in 2025 after agreeing to new deals with Remy Gardner and Dominique Aegerter
Yamaha’s factory-supported GRT team will remain unchanged in 2025 as Remy Gardner and Dominique Aegerter have put pen to paper on new one-year WorldSBK deals.
The pair joined GRT Yamaha at the start of 2023, with Aegerter the most impressive during their rookie season.
That has flipped in 2024 with Gardner leading the team’s charge more often than not. However, both riders have also dealt with injuries as Aegerter missed a few rounds following a motocross accident, while Gardner will miss this weekend’s season-finale at Jerez due to suffering a fractured hamate bone in the left wrist.
Gardner, who has also appeared in MotoGP on three occasions in 2024, said: “I am happy to be staying for another year with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK team. 2024 has been a bit mixed, but overall there are a lot of positives including my first podium in WorldSBK at Assen.
“I’m still hungry for more and hopefully we can build on some of the steps we’ve made this year to be fighting at the front more consistently with another year under our belt in WorldSBK with the R1.”
For Aegerter, 2025 will serve as an opportunity to rediscover his form from last season after a mixed bag of results this year.
The two-time WorldSSP champion has not only had injuries to deal with in 2024 as illness earlier this season meant he missed out on pre-season testing.
Aegerter added: “It’s been a challenging season for me with illness and injury, so I am grateful to Yamaha and the team for continuing to believe in me. I feel like I have unfinished business in WorldSBK, so I am very happy to be able to continue for another year with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team.
“I am looking forward to getting back with the team before the end of this season so we can look at building nicely into 2025 and show exactly what we can do in the WorldSBK class.”
