Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) competed in the final two races of the 2025 season at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto on Sunday 19 October, eventually finishing his first Kawasaki year in WorldSBK in 15th place overall.
As always, two Sunday races awaited Gerloff and his peer group on a WorldSBK Sunday; the ten-lap Superpole ‘sprint’ and the 20-lap final Race Two.
He finished the sprint in 17th position, missing out on championship points. In Race Two, he was running in 14th place in the early laps. On lap 15, he had been fighting in 15th position until he was forced to retire with a technical issue.
Garrett ended his latest WorldSBK season in overall 15th position, with 88 championship points, and a single best race result of sixth place, in Race Two at Donington Park in July.
The Kawasaki WorldSBK Team will remain in Jerez for a single day of testing at the 4.423km long circuit, on Tuesday, 21 October – starting their real preparations for the next WorldSBK season at the earliest possible opportunity.
Garrett Gerloff
“It has been a long year, and we have definitely had some better moments. This weekend was not one of the better moments. It was a tough weekend and we ended up struggling more than I imagined. In Race Two, I had a technical problem, which was unfortunate, and not the way any of us wanted to end the year. We have some new things that we are going to do and I am excited to see if there is a payoff at the end. I think there will be. 2026 starts in a couple of days, with a test at Jerez on Tuesday.”
