Day three of the Australian round of the 2022 FIM Superbike World Championship at Phillip Island was not only the end of the season for the world’s best Superbike competitors, but for former MotoAmerica Superbike rider Garrett Gerloff, it was his final weekend racing with the GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team. It was also the end of a major chapter in the Texan’s life as he will now make the switch to racing BMW Superbikes after more than 11 years exclusively on Yamaha machinery.<\/p>

The day started out with Gerloff going sixth-fastest in the morning Warm Up. Then, with rain having returned to the circuit in the afternoon, the riders headed to the grid for the start of the 10-lap Superpole Race. But, as was the case in Saturday’s Race 1, the rain stopped and the sun came out shortly before the starting lights went out. With the asphalt still wet, Gerloff opted for a rain front tire and an intermediate rear tire.<\/p>

The setup worked well for Gerloff throughout the majority of the sprint race, but towards the end, he struggled with tire degradation as the track completely dried. Despite the adversity, however, he still managed to finish seventh after starting the race in sixth.<\/p>

Race 2 was a completely different story for the 27-year-old. His final race in blue Yamaha livery unfortunately ended on the opening lap when he made contact with Team HRC Honda rider Xavi Vierge going into Turn 2, fell down, and was unable to re-join the race.<\/p>
