Like teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dominique Aegerter, Gardner was one of the standouts from the second and💞 final day of the official WorldSBK testing at Phillip Island. 

Race runs were the focus for the former MotoGP rider, and although Gardner was u♔nable to complete a full feature length race simulation, the laps he did put together were strong. 

• Rea suffers another turn four crash but ‘pace where it nee💟ds to be for podium’ 
• Bautista: “When it’s time to push I can” - ready to race af🌃ter ‘best pre-season’

"It was a gooᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd day and a good way to finish the pre-season," said Gardner following Tuesday’s action. "We did our first race simulation, although not a full race simulation but we did plent🧸y of laps without stopping. 

"It was good. Honestly, I was quite hap♛py with the pace. I💙 need to understand how to control the rear tyre a bit to have good pace at the end but I was quite happy. 

"We didn’t get to manage a really fast lap, just with some red flags and badౠ timing but this was not the goal of the test. I’m pretty confident."

Gardner finished FP2 fifth behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Locatelli but ahead of six-time world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea, while Aegerter was three tenths faster as he claimed second behind defending champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista. 

When looking at Gardner’s first pre-season as a WorldSBKﷺ rider, clear signs are there to suggest he will have a much more enjoyable and successful first season in the series compared to his rookie year in 𓂃MotoGP.

And while he’s shown good pace in order for that sent⛦iment to be 🐓shared, it’s the consistent improvements he's made on each opportunity he’s had to ride the R1 which has pleased the Australian the most. 

When assessing his pre-season, Gardner added: 🌌"Good! For me everyday, every time we start again it’s been a step. Even from the morning to the aft🔯ernoon it’s a step. 

"The most important thing is that we’re moving forward and gettin🌌g closer e♐very time."
