Gerloff Wraps Up Misano Weekend With More Points
At the home round of his Kawasaki WorldSBK Team, Garrett Gerloff scored points in the final race of the Misano World Circuit ‘Marco Simoncelli’ weekend. He finished 12th in Race 2, having started from 22nd place on the starting grid.
Round 7 of the 2026 WorldSBK Championship was a challenging one at times after Gerloff fell on the out lap in Superpole Qualifying. On Sunday June 14, however, Gerloff was 14th in the 10-lap Superpole race and then 12th in the 21-lap Race 2.
Gerloff made strong forward progress aboard his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR in Race 2, and added four more points to his Misano race weekend total after finishing 14th in Saturday’s first long race.
After seven championship rounds and 21 individual races, Gerloff is ranked 11th in the overall standings, tied on a points total of 91 with one other rider.
The championship will now have three ‘free’ weekends before the next competitive round, which will be held at Donington Park in the UK, between July 10-12.
“That was a difficult weekend. I really wish I could say that it wasn’t, but after crashing in the first lap of Superpole Qualifying and not having a time set, then starting from the back row of the grid, it made my life way more difficult than it should have been. I am really sorry to the team because this is their home round and they had all their sponsors here. There was a really cool atmosphere, and I hope everybody really enjoyed it, but I feel bad that we had one of our worst on-track weekends on the weekend that they all came along. I hope we can get back to our strongest form, like we had before, at Donington Park.”
