But the former Moto2 world champion put that disappointment behind him quickly to produce his best performance ever in the Superbike class🐎.
Despite drama with rain and a big lead group, Gardner was immovable from the top positions as he battled hard against the likes of Alv🧜aro Bautista and Toprak Razgatlioglu.
A late attempt to take second away from Bautisꦉta was unsuccessful but 🤡the Australian was clear from any threat after dropping Andrea Iannone and fellow Yamaha rider Andrea Locatelli.
Speaking after breaking his podium drought, a relieved Gardner said: "Finally! It was really t🌳ough last year even though we showed some speed and glimpses of hope.
"The first few races definitely didn’t go to plan. Even though we showed our speed, luck wasn’t and hasn’t been o🙈n our side.
"Finally everything has come together and we have had an amazing weekend. We have been fast all weekend a𝓡nd I think we could have had at least two podiums this weekend.
"I c𝔍an’t complain. We have finally broken the curse. It’s been a few years of a podium drought but it’s come to an end.
"It was har💫d but happy to spray some champagne again."
💖When light rain began to fall in Race 2, the lead changed hands multiple times a𓆉s some riders began taking more risks.
But Gardner was one of those who stayed calm and ultimately had too 🐈much pace for the riders beh🦂ind him.
"Everybody was closing the gas and me too," said Gardner. "♎It did feel a little bit s🍸cary at some points.
"I didn’t do anything craz🎃y and I think a few guys took advantage. When Loka passed me then Iannone passed me.
"But as soon as it started drying up I felt goo𝕴d and could open up the gap."
Although Gardner eventually secured his podium, the Superpole Race left t✱he ex-MotoGP rider angry with himself.
Gardner added: "I was kicking myself, man. Yesterday was just luck but I was kicking mys﷽elf [today].
"Leaving the 🍸door open like that. I was kicking myself. What an idiot I thought.&n🅰bsp;
"Alex [Lowes] rode a g💫ood race. It was an interesti💞ng race but the tyre was destroyed."
