In the closing stages, the Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto2 rider pushed to the fullest, setting the fastest lap of the contest en route to second position. The result is Gardner’s fourth podium of the season out of five contests – the ninth of his career.

“I am very happy with the race we had today. Our position on the grid reduced our chances of being able to fight for the victory. Even so, I am satisfied with the work we did, since at the end of the contest we were able to get closer to Raul [Fernandez]. This is important for me, as we also took a good amount of points. I’m already looking forward to the next round, and to continue working together with the team. Finally, I want to congratulate my teammate on his win.”
