[CMV] Victoire de Remy Gardner en Moto 3

Remy Gardner showed what he was made of today winning round four of the Spanish based Campeonato Mediterráneo de Velocidad (CMV), in the 250 Moto3 class.

For the first time this season Remy was on top of the podium and started the race in pole position after two successful qualifying sessions on Saturday.

“I wasn’t sure if I could stay in front at the beginning of the race today but once I got into it I knew I could do it. I got to the first corner first which I was hoping for. There was a bit of dicing for the lead for a while but I kept my head down and got away. I thought they were right behind me but apparently I had a pretty good lead and went over the line 1.9 seconds in front. I’m so happy,” Remy said after the race.

The CMV is considered the most competitive junior road racing in the world at the moment and Remy’s win today places him second in the championship behind teammate Maria Herrera. He missed out on points in the first two rounds because he was riding in the Pre GP125 championship at the beginning of the season, but after disappointing mechanical failures he switched to a Moriwaki 250 and the Moto3 class. With three more 2011 rounds to go, the championship could go down to the wire.

After a crash in the warm up this morning Remy’s confidence was severely battered, but luckily he was unhurt. His Moriwaki 250 suffered a puncture after jumping one of the exit curbs, throwing him and his bike down the road.

“I felt sick when Remy crashed this morning,” said his shaken Dad Wayne. “Although he wasn’t hurt he was in a bit of shock and I was concerned he’d take that into the race and make a mistake. But, as always he’s made me so proud of his level head and calm confidence. He’s such a smooth and calculated rider. He had his strategy worked out before we arrived at the track today and even after the crash he carried it out to the letter,” Wayne added.

During free practice on Friday Remy slowly worked away at improving his lap times from the previous race at Parcmotor back in April and managed to shave two seconds off his best time by the end of the first day. His teammate Maria Herrera broke the lap record on Friday morning and Remy was still just under two seconds behind her. Having someone to chase was a great motivator and in the morning qualifier on Saturday Remy finished fastest, improving his practice time by almost 1.5 seconds. In the afternoon qualifying session the conditions were patchy with light rain dusting the track. Slower lap times from the field ensured Remy’s pole position ahead of 26 other competitors.

“I’ve been dreaming of standing on top of No. 1 for a long time now. Since I started racing I’ve only ever got second places in big important events and even my friends say I’ve got the curse of coming second! So, finally I broke the curse and it definitely feels as good as I expected it to. I’d really like to thank all my sponsors for their belief in me. I definitely couldn’t be doing this without them,” said Remy.

Finishing second in the Moto3 class today was Maria Herrera and third was Marcos Ramirez Fernandez.

Voilà donc le Fils de Wayne GARDNER sur les rails.
Merci Jean Marc, et à l'occasion un brouillon de traduction pour les incultes?
Avec un père de cet acabit il a intérêt à filer droit Remy...et à tordre le bracelet droit avant de se plaindre de son matériel.
J'ai un peu de mal à suivre les équivalences de niveaux de tous ces championnats Junior.
Un spécialiste pourrait-il éclairer notre lanterne?

Au passage en 125 prégp, Robin Anne fait 5em, Christophe Raphaël 7em et le belge Loris cresson 12em.
Robin est en tête du championnat.
Le classement 125/moto3 étant séparé vu l'écart de perf'. (La moto 3 étant meilleure)

...Et Fabio Quartararo qui a pris encore 25 point en 80cc... hé.hé
Il lui reste 3 points à prendre et il est encore le roi d'Espagne, d'ailleurs vous avez entendu, Zapatero ne se represente pas en tant que 1er ministre, il est dégouté, une grenouille vient semer la Zizanie en terre sainte des champions Espagnols
Pour la prochaine début septembre comme il a que 3 points à prendre pour avoir la couronne, il va aussi courir en 125 Pré GP, le fils du crocodile va avoir du souci si le circuit est tortueux

Une fois de plus, le site du CMV est aux pâquerettes...

Et le site de la fédération catalane n'est guère mieux...

De toute façon, le circuit de Castellolí ne permet aucune comparaison de temps avec ses homologues du CEV.
Quand je vois qu'une Moriwaki est plus rapide qu'une 125cc 2temps, je me dis qu'il faut, certes, saluer tous ces pilotes mais ne pas chercher là des éléments comparatifs pour se faire une idée de la saison prochaine en GP...

Allez, je préfère mettre une photo de Fabio!

Marc,

Nous n'avons pas le plaisir de nous connaître, mais je te sens sensible aux charmes du 2 temps... 8)
