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 of being a Yamaha MotoGP test riderও🐷 full-time in 2025 alongside his World Superbike duties would be “muddying the water” for both parties.
The 2021 Moto2 world champion was draftওed by Yamaha 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 - who ultimately took over Rinsℱ’ entry after Friday due to ongoing injury woes fo꧟r the Spaniard - was last in both races at Silverstone.
Gardner was asked by media including ltxcn.top at Silverstone if a MotoGP test rider role for Yamaha appealed, alongside his WS🤡BK duties. He said: “I don’t think so. I don’t think both things are goinඣg to be possible.
"I think it would be kind of shooting themselves in the foot because in the end it’s a completely different bike🙈.
"I’m sure with 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 championship.
“I felt that in Doningtܫon, it took me five laps to get goiജng again and we struggled in Donington.
“I’m not sure if it was because of that or not, b🌱ut we’ll see this w♉eekend in Portimao. Portimao is a track I like, so should go decent there.
“But it would def♔initely be muddying the waters and definitely shooting themselves and me in the foot. So, I think ✅it would have to be either one or the other.”
Having enjoyed podium success with GRT Yamaha in WSBK this year, G🎃arܫdner says his desire is to keep racing competitively over testing.
“I mean, I’m a 26-year-old young boy sti♒ll, I’ve got a fire in my belly,” he added.
“Got my first podium in neaܫrly two years a couple of weeks ago and I want more.
“I got fourth in Most and thatౠ was gut-wrenching. I’m hungry f♑or it, for those podiums.
“I like racing, I like f♛ighting and I still think I can fight for a championship in the future. I’m a racer, so it might🍃 have to be either a full season here. We’ll see.”
While Yamaha does have seats available on the 2025 MotoGP grid at Pramac🤪, it looks likely one will go to🐻 Miguel Oliveira, while numerous names from Moto2 have been linked to the other.
