after he lost his Tech3 KTM ride over his alleged unprofessionalism.
Though the Australian will face three-race weekends from 2023 in WSBK, the current run of 12 rounds means he will still have four fewer races than MotoGP will next year. Asked if the massively pressurised nature of MotoGP and its relentless schedule – with Aragon marking the first of a triple-header that also takes in Japan and Thailand – was a consideration for his move to WSBK, Gardner said: “For sure, I mean was it 12 weekends this year [in WSBK]?“So, for me that’s cool. I’ve got other hobbies in my spare time, which is nice.
“Even this year is really intense and next year with another race on Saturday it’s going to be even tougher.Remy Gardner, KTM Tech3Gardner had options to go to Moto2 but felt stepping back to the class he was champion in last year wasn’t worthwhile as he’d achieved everything he could. Though young enough to still come back from WSBK if the opportunity arose, Gardner doesn’t believe there will be many chances to return to MotoGP in the future.
