Moto2 championship l💮eader and new MotoGP rider for 2022, Remy Gardner took a 𒁃brilliant pole during Q2 at Catalunya. 

It was a hard-fought battle between Gardner and team-✨mate Raul Fernandez with both riders looking like the favorite at different stages. 

Gardner led the Q2 session early on before Fernandez surpassed his more experienced teaꩵm-mate.

But with two minutes left, Gardner took back top spot before going even quicker 🐈on his final attempt and breaking the 1m 43s barrier - a lap time that was only four seconds of Fabio Quartararo’s MotoGP pole🃏 time. 

Gardner said: "Yeah it was a good day, I’ve had worse days fꦗor sure. It’s always nice to start from pole.🎶 I definitely had to push hard to pip Raul [Fernandez], but I managed it in the end.” 

Gardner was ⛄two tenths quicker than Fernandez in the end, and nearly six tenths faster than Bo Bendsneyder in third - showing what a fantastic effort it was. 

The Mugello race winner added: "Yeah I don’t know how I did it. After t🍎he first run on the first tyre we were not too bad. Thꦅen, chucked the other tyre in after two flying laps and I saw Raul had just pipped me so I went out there and pushed. 

⛎"I wasn’t ev♔en checking my sectors, just trying to keep everything clean and on the limit, and yeah, I managed to do it. 

"Important thing is that we have good pace ✃and it’s a long race so we just need consistency, that’s all."

Better yet for Gardner is the race pace he showed, something Fernandez is aware of and hoping he ca🌟n match tomorrow. 

"I’m very happy. The aim was to try to fight for another front row and we succee💯ded. We also showed that we have a good pace," added the Moto2 rookie. 

"Remy [Gardner] has a pretty strong pace, but we’ll see if we can compete with him. If we don’t manage to, then getting on 𝔉the podium is a re🔯al and reachable goal."
