Gardner was taken to the medical centre after his fall, where he was diagnosed with a fractured hamate bone in 🍰his left wrist.

As a result, Gardner has be✱en declared unfit and will be forced to sit out the ꦆremainder of this weekend’s Estoril World Superbike round.

Gardner was not the only Yamaha rider to crash out o💃f Race 1 in Estoril; Andrea Locatelli fell from third place, handing what would have been his first podium since Phillip Island away to Iker Lecuona, who secured his and Honda’s first top-three finish of the year.
