Garrett Gerloff has confirmed he will remain a Kawasaki WorldSBK rider until at least the end of the 2027 season after agreeing a new deal.
Gerloff teamed up with Kawasaki in 2024 after leaving the Bonovo BMW team, finishing 15th in the riders standings after their first campaign together.
The partnership between the American rider and Kawasaki has grown year on year, with Gerloff consistently fighting to be inside the top five in the current campaign.
“I am just super-happy to have another opportunity to stay with Kawasaki and race the Ninja ZX-10RR in WorldSBK for another year,” Gerloff said in a team statement.
“I feel that we have made so much progress this year, and we have been able to fight closer to the top five positions more consistently.
“Top five, at the minimum, is where I want to be, so it is nice that Kawasaki helped me to keep getting faster with the bike and the team.
“I hope next year we can do even more. I’m happy that they have confidence in me and I have confidence in them and that we can keep going.
“It is also very nice to announce that we are continuing together during the team’s home round at Misano.”
Team Principal Manuel Puccetti added: “We are really delighted to announce the renewal of Garrett Gerloff’s contract for what will be the third consecutive year.
“I have always considered him a rider of great talent and an exceptional person.
“Together we can continue to believe in our WorldSBK project with Kawasaki, continuing our objective of aiming ever higher.”
