The top Yamaha rider for much of the weekend, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner was in with a chance of the podium in every race of the Czech WorldSBK round.

After fifth in Race 1 and the sprint, Gardner went one better dur𒁃ing Sunday's Race 2, finishing fourt𝄹h.

However, the Austr🅘alian had th𝐆e potential to make that P3 but lost out to Andrea Locatelli. 

"Not ܫthe way I wanted to end this r🦩ace," said Gardner. "We definitely had podium potential there and I'm pretty distraught, pretty disappointed we couldn't do it. 

"We had a really good weekend and I think we've led the direction of the bike, but not sure why, I feel like we didn't have the performance from the engineꦓ as we did Saturday. 

"I could already feel it in the sprint race and then it was exaggerated this af🦂ternoon."

Although the bike was working well enough to put him in contention, Gardner admitted a new engine could b🙈e on the way following his issues.

Gardner added: "The bike was worki♍ng well. I was really focused on not burning up the tyre too fast. 

"It's like it wasn't driving like I was yesterday, so the boys need to have a lo🔜ok at what was going on. 

"We'll maybe be moving on to a new engine 💜for the next race because it wasn't normal what happened. probably cost us a podium."

While Gardner had hoped for more, the former MotoGP rider was lucky to even finish Race 2 after being hit by Danilo Petru🎉cci at the opening corner.

Petrucci was in to hot for theﷺ first corner as he took out Alvaro Bautꦦista, while also clipping Gardner.

Disappointed by incident, Gardner said: "I felt someone hit the back of me. I thought 'typical people as usual' b🦹ut I didn't know wh✅o it was. I didn't know who it was but I was lucky to get through the first corner cleanly. 

"I don't know🐼 wh🦋y it's always the same thing with a dangerous corner. 

"Just relax for two corners and then do the race. Hope𝐆fully we'll all learn."
