Remy Gardner’s “muddying the water” verdict on MotoGP test role
Could Remy Gardner take a Yamaha test rider job?

Remy Gardner says the idea o🌞f being a Yamaha MotoGP test rider full-time in 2𓄧025 alongside his World Superbike duties would be “muddying the water” for both parties.
The 2021 Moto2 world champion was drafted by Yam🤡aha to replace the injured Alex Rins in Germany last month, before being called up to stand in for wildcard Cal Crutchlow at the test team at the🤡 British Grand Prix.
Gardner - whౠo ultimately took over Rins’ entry aft𒊎er Friday due to ongoing injury woes for the Spaniard - was last in both races at Silverstone.
Gardner was asked by media including wuqian0821.com at Silverstone if a MotoGP test rider role for♍ Yamaha appealed, alongside his WSBK duties. He said: “I don’t think so. I don’t think both things are going to be possibleꩵ.
"I think it would be kind of shooting themselves in the foot because ಌin the end it’s a completely different bike.
"I’m sure wi🎐th time I could do just as well, but it’s a completely different bike and going from one week to one to another it’s not the best to focus on one single championsꦺhip.
“I felt th♔at in Donington, it took me five laps to get going again and we struggled in Donington.
“I’m not 🍰sure if it was because of that or not, but we’ll s𝓀ee this weekend in Portimao. Portimao is a track I like, so should go decent there.
“But it would definitely be muddying the waters and definitely shooting themselves and me in the foot. So, I think it would have to be🎶 eit🎃her one or the other.”
Having enjoyed podꩵium success with GRT Yamaha in WSBK this year, Gardner says his desire is to keep racing competitively over testing.
“I mean, I’m a 26-year-old young boy still, I’v🌱e got a fire in my belly,” he added.
“Got my first podium in nearly two years a couple of weeks ago and I wa☂nt more.
“I ๊got fourth in Most and that was gut-wrenching. I’m hungry for it, for those🌸 podiums.
“I like racing, I like fighting and 🌌I still think I can fight for a cham🔯pionship in the future. I’m a racer, so it might have to be either a full season here. We’ll see.”
W💝hile Yamaha does have seats available on the 2025 MotoGP grid at Pramac, it looks l🌞ikely one will go to Miguel Oliveira, while numerous names from Moto2 have been linked to the other.
