Remy Gardner’s team are pleased to report that Remy’s leg surgery following the incident in Argentina, that saw the luckless Aussie taken out for the second consecutive race, was a success with the focus now being on a racing return at the Spanish GP at Jerez on May 7th.

Speaking from his hospital bed shortly after the op Gardner had this to say: “The operation went well. They basically put a hook plate on the end of my ankle which hooks onto the broken piece and then pulls it up and back to its normal place. They then screwed the length of the plate into my leg. Obviously I am pretty angry at not being able to ride in Texas as we were just starting to find a good rhythm with the bike and I am confident we could have been in the points. The plan now is to come back stronger than ever and I am already looking forward to Jerez which is the target. Thanks to everyone who has been sending messages of support. I can’t wait to get back aboard my Tech3 Mistral machine!”
