Remy Gardner from Red Bull KTM Ajo qualified third for the Moto2 Grand Prix of Germany.

Born in Sydney, he shares the front row with teammate Raul Fernandez, who took pole, and Fabio Di Giannantonio of Federal Oil Gresini.

Gardner was the fastest after the first pilots around the Sachsenring with 1: 23.769 seconds, with his future MotoGP colleague Di Giannantonio the second fastest at this point.

The latter went faster the next time, but these 1: 23.681s were achieved with a violation of the course limits and therefore did not count.

The Italian’s 1: 23.744s on his third plane was enough, but Fernandez was able to take pole with 1: 23.397s at the start of his second run.

Gardner couldn’t improve on his first push lap, but was still more than four tenths faster than Marco Bezzecchi (Sky Team VR46), who finished fourth.

“It’s been a good day for us,” said # 87.

“We had hoped for a little more after training, but I’m happy because we have strong pace.

“Tomorrow it will be a long race, but we will do our best to keep calm and not make any mistakes. We will give everything to enjoy a positive Sunday. “

The top 10 were rounded off by Xavi Vierge (SRT) in fifth place ahead of Jorge Navarro (Speed ​​Up), Sam Lowes (Marc VDS), Ai Ogura (Honda Team Asia), Bo Bendsneyder (SAG Team) and Aron Canet (Aspar ). .

In MotoGP, Johann Zarco took pole, while Jack Miller qualified fourth on another Ducati.

The intermediate class race starts tonight at 20:20 AEST.
