Career
Gardner made his first three appearances in the Moto3 World Championship in 2014, twice as replacement for injured riders and once as a wild card entry, scoring one point. In 2015 he was signed as a full-time rider for the Mahindra-equipped CIP team, achieving his best result and his only point scoring finish of the year at Phillip Island with a 10th place.
For 2016, Gardner was due to compete in the Moto2 class with AGP Racing aboard a Suter alongside Federico Fuligni, but the team withdrew from the championship;[2] he then moved to the FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship. In the same season he also made his debut in the Moto2 World Championship in Catalunya aboard Tasca Racing's Kalex as the substitute for Alessandro Tonucci,[3] scoring his first point in the class.
For 2017, Gardner switched to Tech 3 Racing, partnering Spaniard Xavi Vierge. Gardner crashed out on the first lap in both of the opening two rounds in Qatar and Argentina. He was ruled out of the following round in Austin and was replaced by Julián Simón.
Gardner picked up his first points of the season in Mugello with a 14th-place finish, and he also picked up points at the Sachsenring, Brno, the Red Bull Ring, Misano, Motegi, and Phillip Island. He finished in 21st place in the riders' championship, scoring 23 points.
In 2018, he remained with Tech 3, this time joined by Bo Bendsneyder, who moved up from Moto3. In the first half the season, Gardner suffered two broken legs and an ankle in a training accident and was replaced by Héctor Garzó for the rounds in Jerez, Le Mans, and Mugello.
At Silverstone, Gardner achieved his first front row start in the Moto2 class, however due to heavy rain on race day, all races that weekend were cancelled due to unsafe track conditions after resurfacing.
At Valencia, the last race of the season, Gardner scored his best ever finish in the Moto2 class with a 5th place finish, and he finished 19th in the riders' championship, scoring 40 points.
For 2019, Tech 3 decided to replace Gardner and Bendsneyder with Marco Bezzecchi and Philipp Öttl. In October 2018, it was announced that Gardner would join SAG Team, joining Tetsuta Nagashima.
