Australian Remy Gardner can head to Motegi in Japan for the next round of the Moto2 World Championship after another strong performance in today's AragonGP at the Motorland Aragon circuit near Alcaniz in Spain.
The circuit, one of the longest on the calendar always produces great racing and today's 21 lap race, the penultimate in Europe this year was no exception with Gardner battling hard from start to finish to finish a very credible 19th at the flag.
Running close to the top fifteen throughout practice, Remy was caught out in qualifying, unable to get a clear lap which meant an eighth row start, but in typical Gardner fashion, he was soon carving his way through the field, moving into the top twenty at the end of lap two.
A race long, six rider fight ensued with the number 87 able to mix it in the group that at one stage in the race was right on the back of the point scoring riders.
