Gerloff<\/a> said: \u201cWho knows? For sure it won\u2019t happen in the race, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cBut I came in and I was like \u2018That was the race tyre, right\u2019, and [the team] were like \u2018Yes, that was the race tyre\u2019, so I said \u2018Okay, whatever\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, no, really good, really happy with the team and how we\u2019re working. I feel like we found something at Balaton, and I was expecting it to work here in Czechia, too, but I didn\u2019t expect it to work that well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t consistent in practice, so I definitely need to work on consistency and everything \u2013 I just had one lap and then made a bunch of mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I don\u2019t want to get ahead of myself, but it\u2019s nice to finally feel like I finally have a good result for the Kawasaki WorldSBK Team and everybody that\u2019s working really hard and sacrificing a lot. So, it\u2019s nice to feel like it\u2019s paid off a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerloff was in the top-five at Balaton two weeks ago and the American is hopeful of repeating that in Czechia.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would really love to get a top-five again,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that\u2019s, realistically, where we want to try to aim, is top-five.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be tough, for sure, everybody is going strong, and we just have like a little bit of a light shining through right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s going to be tough tomorrow and I\u2019ve got no qualms about that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just need to keep working on ourselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are still some things that I want to improve on the bike, which is good \u2013 I\u2019m glad it didn\u2019t feel perfect, so hopefully there\u2019s more room for it to grow. We\u2019ll see, but a nice way to end Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garrett Gerloff topped FP2 at the Czech WorldSBK, but doesn\u2019t \u201cwant to get ahead of myself\u201d about his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673390,"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-673389","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\/673389","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=673389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
