Despite taking his first point in MotoGP, Remy Gardner claims he was ex🌟pecting more speed from his Tech 3 KTM. 

The Australian, who✅ qualified third best of the rookies during Saturday’s Q1 session, managed to pip Darryn Binder to 15th by just -0.012s, a result that puts him top of the rookies since none of the other four scored points. 

While it’s no surprise to see all the 202🔜2 rookies fighting towards the back given pre-season testing suggested this was likely, at least during the first couple of races, Gardner is already thinking much higher than his P15 finish afteꦍr Brad Binder claimed a podium for the Austrian manufacturer. 

Gardner added: "Although it is not where we want to be, it is nice 🙈to be getting a MotoGP point. I felt good and fast during the first half of the race. 

"However, I was expecting a bit more spe🌄ed from the bike and found myself struggling to overtake during the first laps.

"Brad Binder did a podium today, so we need to look at his data 🔥and what he did in order to help us improve and go faster. It is a great🍬 result. 

"Anyway, we finished the race today ༒and we will take experience from it when heading to Mandalika."

Holding Gardner back somewhat was the presence of Brad’s brother Darryn who was i🌳n front of him for much of the race. 

Had he got through much earlier on, last season’s Moto2 world champion felt catching And༒rea Dovizioso and even Maverick Vinales - eventually fini🐈shed 19 seconds behind the latter - was a possibility. 

"At one point, I felt capable of catching Maverick Viñales a🐠nd Andrea Dovizioso, but I had Da🗹rren Binder in front of me and I could not get past him. 

"He is coming from the Moto3 𒀰class, so he was all over the place, coming back on line withou💝t looking, he was wide. It was a disaster and I lost the group. I am hoping to catch up with him to discuss this."
