168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Remy Gardner fought hard during the German MotoGP sprint race, finishing just ahead of Joan Mir and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta.

Gardneꦐr’s progress at the start was immediate as he moved ahead of Mir and fellow Ho🔜nda 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 positions.

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

“I wasౠ trying to get back around, 🍒trying in Turn 5, but I couldn't manage it, and then Stefan Bradl got by me.

“I was missing some explosiveness on the first💝 five laps 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 race, I got some data, and tomorrow I will come back with a differe♎nt head, and it will be a different story then.”

It was also a difficult race for team-mat🧜e Fabio Quartara𓆏ro, who could only manage 13th.

Sachsenring remains the scene of Quartararo’s last MotoGP victory in 2022, but the French ride🧸r was not surprised by ꦍhis struggles.

Quartararo said: “We tried a lot of things on the electronics. During the Sprint race I was behind a group, and I could see where we need to imp𓆏rove.

“Unfortunately, we can't seem to fi⭕nd a qui⛦ck fix for this to make the next step, but we are trying to improve it this weekend. At this track, I expected it would be difficult.”
