Gerloff Ends Misano Test Third Fastest

Texan Garrett Gerloff ended the two-day World Superbike test at Misano with the third fastest time.

Two-time MotoAmerica Supersport Champion Garrett Gerloff ended the two-day World Superbike test at Misano in Italy today with the third fastest time – the GRT Yamaha WorldSBK rider just .325 of a second from Aruba.it Racing Ducati’s Michael Ruben Rinaldi, who ended up at the top of the timesheets on the second day.

Despite a crash in this afternoon’s final session, Rinaldi managed to throw down a lap-record setting 1:33.688 to knock yesterday’s leader Toprak Razgatlioglu and the PATA Yamaha WorldSBK YZF-R1 from the top spot. Razgatlioglu’s best lap was a 1:33.886 today.

Gerloff, meanwhile, led the second session at one point but ended up third with his 1:34.013 set during his 67 laps. That put him ahead of Aruba.it Racing Ducati’s Scott Redding with PATA Yamaha WorldSBK’s Andrea Locatelli rounding out the top five.
