We’ve already done a couple of posts on the next generation of up-and-coming racers that we like to keep an eye on and eventually see if they can make that promising step forward into international racing

Thirteen year old Remy has already made one step forwards and will be contesting in Spain’s 2011 CMV (Campeonato Mediterraneo de Velocidad) under the Monlau Competition team banner, that sees kids from 12 to 14 compete un de-tuned 125cc bikes.

Spain is currently dominating the world with the sheer number of racing schools and junior championships produces an incredible amount of talented youngsters who dream of racing in the premier class in the very near future, hence the choice of the Gardner family.

The enthusiastic Remy, who is also going to be competing in Australia’s MRRDA series and in Dirt Track and Longtrack competitions said, “I really want to get fit and healthy before I start racing this year and I’ve been getting up early before school to cycle, run or surf every morning, and eating healthy to make sure I’m ready to do my best for our sponsors.
