Garrett Gerloff<\/a> told WorldSBK.com after Race 2 in Hungary.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve finished 20 seconds behind before and finished 16th, and I was 24 today and I finished fifth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the championship is difficult and we just need to keep getting faster every race, more consistent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKawasaki is going to bring me some new parts, slowly throughout the year, and I\u2019m hoping that all those the things that they do, and everything that we improve with electronics and with chassis is going to put us forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerloff\u2019s solid Hungary performance came after a disastrous in which his best result was 14th in the Superpole Race. In the Netherlands, he and the Kawasaki team were unable to find solutions to his problems, but in Hungary the progress was constant, he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I was scratching my head in Assen,\u201d said Gerloff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had an idea of what I thought needed to be better in order to make progress and move up position-wise, but it was like everything that we tried I was doing the same lap time. It was difficult for me to explain, it was difficult for the team to explain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we came here [Balaton], Friday was not too bad, Saturday was a bit better, and then [Sunday] was really good and we were just\u2013 every change we made was getting us closer to a better result and a better feeling for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s just one of those things with racing: sometimes it\u2019s working and everything you do works, and sometimes it\u2019s not and everything you do doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just happy to be able to put the green machine up front, the bike is good and I\u2019m really happy with how the bike feels and stuff. We just need to be more consistent with the setup and my feeling with the bike and everything, and we can get closer to the front. It\u2019s nice to be top-five.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garrett Gerloff admits he\u2019s still \u201ccrazy-far\u201d from the front of WorldSBK despite taking his best result with Kawasaki…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,109804,109805,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-651433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-garrett-gerloff","tag-kawasaki-worldsbk-team","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
