Former Tech3 KTM rider Remy Gardner will make his MotoGP return on a factory Yamaha, as Alex Rins skips the Sachsenring event.
Former Tech3 KTM racer Remy Gardner will unexpectedly return to MotoGP at the German Grand Prix this weekend to fill in for the injured Alex Rins on the Yamaha factory team. Alex Rins sustained injuries to his wrist and ankle at the Dutch TT and underwent surgery in Madrid. Yamaha decided to bring back Gardner to allow Rins more time to recover during the upcoming summer break.
Team boss Maio Meregalli expressed relief at Alex Rins’ successful surgery and wished him a speedy recovery, while also thanking Remy Gardner and the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK team for stepping in. Gardner, a strong performer in the World Superbike championship, is set to face a challenging learning curve at Sachsenring. Despite a disappointing one-year stint in MotoGP after winning the Moto2 title, Gardner is back in the premier class to showcase his potential once again in place of Rins.
