Garrett🌟 Gerloff heads to Australia for the opening WorldSBK round of 2025 in a positive mood after two Europ♒ean tests.

Both tests were dominated by weather, which ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrestricted running😼 in both Jerez and Portimao in January.

But Gerloff, who moves to Kawasaki this year after spending the past two seasons at BMW♓, said he was able to “confirm some t🍎hings” at the second test in Portugal.

“It was a positive test at Portimao𓂃,” said Geﷺrloff.

“Although the conditions were not perfect we still had a goo🍬💟d test and we were able to confirm some things, which is nice.

“I think, in general, we have a good base to 𒅌take to Australia and I hope we can have a positive test there before race weekend. I am really happy with the bike, the♓ team and I cannot wait to keep going in Australia.”

Team principal Manuel Puccetti added: “Even though we were only able to ride for two days between Jerez and P🐬ortimao, we are very hap🌄py with how our tests went.

ꦦ“Gerloff was able to ride many laps and was always very fast, confirming the validity of the work done by our technicians who found excellent set-ups for our Ninja ZX-10RR.

“We are ready for tꦏhe Phillip Island teꦐsts and the first round in Australia – but not before having presented our team in Reggio Emilia and then in Japan.”
