It’s his first time in Donington so everyone was excited to see him at work. Hats off to Garrett Gerloff’s performance in balancing the competition on the Yamaha.
The American, fresh from the Assen GP with Petronas, has shown that he is quick to familiarize himself with the track in order to control the competition.
“I didn’t do that badly on the first day,” the GRT driver began. “Yesterday I did a lap on the track and today I rode my bike on the track. I tried to learn the track quickly and the situation was a bit complicated this morning due to the bad brain. The situation definitely improved in FP2, where I became more confident with good feelings. “
Garrett then draws a comparison.
“Donington reminds me of some MotoAmerica circuits, like Virginia or Pittsburgh, as they have some similarities. I have to say the track is very smooth, even if I suffered on the last track. I actually prefer the first part of the route, but I’m thrilled. “
Finally he talked about the Assen weekend.
“This is the third track I’ve learned in ten days. I got to know the TT since last weekend, today Donington and before that Navarra. It is obvious that if you know your bike, i.e. the SBK, the situation is very different than in MotoGP. But I have to admit that jumping from one motorcycle to another gives me great motivation and the desire to do well. “
