There are two realistic options on the table for the reigning Moto2 world champion, with one of tho♐se being a return to the intermediate class. 

Gardner has stated his intention is to return to winning ways so based on that thi🐈nking a move to Moto2 could be the better one.

However, are reporting a deal to bring G👍ardner to WorldSBK with the GRT Yamaha outfit is ‘close’: “At Magny-Cours, where the Superbike World Championship enters the second half of the season this weekend, SPEEDWEEK.com learned that Gardner is close to signing with Yamaha and will ride for the Giansanti Racing Team (GRT) next year.”
