The test was notable for Jonathanജ Rea🌺, among others, hopping on their 2024 bike and joining their new teams.
GYTR GRT Yamaha rider Gardner wasꦺ impressed by Pata Yamaha’s new recruit.
“Jonny surprised me w🌜ith how fast he got on with the bike,” Gardner said.
“That shows the experience he has. I’m really excited to see what Jonny can bring to the table and𝐆 help develop the bike, and also for me to learnꦆ off Jonny.
“With so much experience, you can always learn something. Really great to have Jonny 🐲with Yamaha.”
G𓂃ardner was nearly three-tenths clear of the second-fastest rider on Wedne🌃sday.
His 1’38.448s lap would have be𒈔en enough to claim pole position for the recent r🐭ace at the same track.
He reacted: “It’s been a positive test. The pace has been really good over the two days, with the race tyre and obviousl𒊎y today, at the end, we put in two SCQs and did a really great lap time.
“There was a little bit more I could꧟’ve done.&ꦍnbsp;
“I made a few mistakes on that lap but quite happy with the two days went. Itꦍ wasn’t a perfect lap, but it wasn’t bad.
“More than the lap, I’m happy with the improvements we’ve made over the two days with wha🌸t Yamaha have brought.”
