168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner fought hard during the German MotoGP sprint race, finishing just ahead of Joan Mir and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta.

Gardner’s progress at the start was immediate as he moved ahead of Mi🔜r and fellow Hon🦩da rider Johann Zarco.

However, the WorldSBK rider, who is stepping in for the injured Alex Rins this weekend, admitted he ‘chickened out’ which caused him to lose positi💛ons.

Gardner said: “I had a really good start, like I made up for one row on the grid, but wh🧸en I went unto the first corner… I didn't brake too late. I chickened out a bit, to be honest, and Joan Mir and Johann Zarco got past me again.

“I was trying to get back around, trying in Turn 5, but I couldn'ꦬt manage it, and then Stefan Bradl got by me.

“I was missing some explosiveness on the first five lap♍s to make those good lap times because after that I was managing it, but they had already made a bit of a gap.

“For sure, I learned a lot in that Sprint raౠce, I🐽 got some data, and tomorrow I will come back with a different head, and it will be a different story then.”

It was also a difficult race 🧸for team-mate Fabio Quartararo, who could 🌟only manage 13th.

Sachsenring r🌃emains the scene of Quartararo’s l♒ast MotoGP victory in 2022, but the French rider was not surprised by his struggles.

Quartararo sai🌸d: “We tried a lot of things on the electronics. During the 𒁃Sprint race I was behind a group, and I could see where we need to improve.

“Unfortunately, we can't seem to find a quickꦜ fix for this to make the next step, but we are trying to improve it this weekend. At this track, I expected it 𝓰would be difficult.”
