GRT Yamaha has announced its rider line-up for the 2025 WorldSBK season, with both Remy Gardner and Domin✨ique Aegerter retained by 𓆏the Italian squad.

Both Gardner and Aegertꦛer have endured tricky second WorldSBK seasons in 2024, with the Yamaha R1 proving incapable of fighting for podium positions in mos🐻t circuits.

Gardner, though — who is not competing in this weekend’s WorldSBK Spanish Round after suffering a left wrist injury in Estoril last weekend, and who will undergo back surgery following the conclusion of this season — was at least able to claim his first💖 WorldSBK podium at this year’s Dutch Round.

“I am happy to be staying for another year with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK tea🐲m,” Gardner said.

“2024 has been a bit mixed, b💫ut overall there are a lot of positives including my first podium in Worl☂dSBK 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 consi🌱stently with another year under our belt in WorldSBK with the R1.”

Dominiquꦕe Aegerter described his own 2024 season — which hasn’t seen him add to the maiden WorldSBK podium he achᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚieved at Jerez last season — as “challenging”, but the two-times Supersport World Champions says he has “unfinished business” in the championship.

“It’s been൩ a challenging season for me with illness and injury, so I am grateful to Yamaha and the team for continuing to believe in me,” Aegerter said.

“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 World💙SBK T🐬eam.

“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 wha𝓡t we can do in the WorldSBK class.”

Filippo🐲 Conti, GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team P꧅rincipal, said: "We are pleased to announce our 2025 lineup. We have had a good run with both Remy and Domi, and we are very happy to be able to continue with them next season.

“We had some great 🌃moments with this duo and we are look🧸ing forward to sharing many more.

“We look forward to a great 2025 togetherꦉ and reaping the fruits of the work done in these two years, where both proved their speed and talent and we are sure that they will continue to do so and make further progress."

GRT had been a potential destination for Andrea Iannone in 2025, as the Italian sought a factoryও-spec bike for his second season in WorldSBK. However, the Italian yesterday announced his con💞tinuation with the Go Eleven Ducati team.
