The Tech3 Racing team rider Remy Gardner got off a flying start on the second day of action at the Termas de Río Hondo Circuit. The Australian extraordinarily topped the third Free Practice in tricky conditions and kept her great feeling also during qualifying. She showed a consistent pace and was finally able to equal her best ever Moto2 grid position with P9.
On the other side of the Tech3 Racing team garage, Bo Bendsneyder was working hard to adapt to the delicate circumstances, riding in partly wet conditions for the first time on her Mistral 610. Eventually, the intermediate class rookie has to attack the Argentina Grand Prix tomorrow at 13:20 local time from the ninth row.

Position: 25th – Time: 1’59.630 – Laps: 20
“The qualifying was quite difficult with the weather. In the end there was more rain, but also more grip, which was hard to understand. I think we still need to fix something with the bike to have a stable bike on the brakes in order to stop it better and have the corner speed. We have some work to do for tomorrow, especially if it’s wet. If it’s dry, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m looking forward to the race, honestly, I’m not too happy about the place today, but Sunday is another day.”
