In a pre-GP period of San Marino characterized by the latest and numerous rider market moves for the 2023 MotoGP season, one of the most unexpected and questionable was concentrated at home Tech3 KTM: the Austrian team, which will become GasGas from the next championship, has not confirmed Remy Gardner for the world championship to come, with his place that will be taken by the current leader of the Moto2 championship Augusto Fernandez.
A choice, communicated to the Australian on Saturday of the Austrian GP weekend, which totally disappointed and displaced the 24-year-old from Sidney, last season’s Moto2 champion, who spoke this morning at a press conference to express his views on the choice. by KTM: “I didn’t expect itto be honest – explained in Misano Adriatico – I have always given 100%. And unfortunately I don’t think it was enough for their standard. My intention was to stay here and give my best. And honestly, yes, they broke my heart. They said I wasn’t professional enough. That’s all. I don’t think my season was a disaster, to be honest. Considering the times and how close I am to the factory riders in my first year, I honestly think it wasn’t bad ”.
Going into more detail on the matter, Gardner added other statements on the renewal negotiation with KTM, almost taken for granted also due to the 4-point advantage in the standings over Raul Fernandez, the next Aprilia junior rider: “The impression was that I would continue, as they told me at Silverstone. I don’t know, I’m as confused as you are. They told me very late. They really screwed meto be honest, even to find a place for next year. They left me in a fucking position“. In conclusion, Gardner then admitted to having received other offers for 2023, still not evaluated due to his state of mind and none of these related to MotoGP: “It is certainly difficult to accept after fighting for so many years – finished – with injuries, fights, and with a bike perhaps not the best. In the end, I managed to hit the target of winning a championship. I feel a little bit fooled by the world of motorcycles Right now. I want to keep running for sure. I have some offers to stay in this paddock, obviously not in MotoGP. I’m not sure yet ”.
