Remy Gardner breaks both legs and ankle in MX crash

Tech3 Moto2 star Remy Gardner has broken both his legs and an ankle while motocross training in spain.

The young Australian is already under the care of Dr Mir at the Dexeus Clinica in Barcelona and will be replaced by Hector Garzo at the Jerez MotoGP round this weekend.

“It’s very disappointing news that we received today from Wayne Gardner informing us, that Remy apparently broke his two legs and one ankle, which means of course he won’t be in Jerez. Right now, I think he will be transferred to the Dexeus Clinica of Dr Mir and we have to wait and see," said team boss Herve Poncharal.

"It looks like he could be out for a few weeks, so clearly, he won’t be able to race this weekend, which is a big shame, because Remy was having the best start of his young career in Moto2 with a good race in Qatar, a really, really strong race in Argentina. Texas was a bit less competitive, but still holding a good position in the championship.

"For sure after having nine days of testing in Jerez, we were looking for a good performance there. Unfortunately, it is what it is and he isn’t the first one with an accident in training. Every year, race by race, MotoGP Championship riders are getting injured while training.  It’s a shame, but this is life.

"We are proud to announce that Hector Garzo, who is riding the Mistral 610 in the CEV Moto2 Championship, who also replaced Xavi Vierge last year, when he was out due to injury at the Sachsenring, will be back in the Tech3 Racing team, this time replacing Remy Gardner, so we are happy to see him again and we hope he will be as impressive as he was for his first outing in the Moto2 World Championship.

" We will do everything we can to make him feel comfortable without too much pressure. He knows Jerez, he’s from Spain and hopefully he can make us forget the disappointment of Remy’s absence.”
