Garrett Gerloff’s impressive time-attack pace at the end of WorldSBK FP2 in Donington was good enough to put him three te🌄nths clear of his nearest challenger. 

That rider was Jonathan Rea who had topped FP1 an♋d led most♛ of the afternoon session. 

After Navarra two weeks ago and Assen last week for the Du🔯tch MotoGP, Donington Park is the third new circuit that the American has been presented with in three weeks.

Gerloff put his qui🦋ck adaptation down to gettinꦛg ‘US vibes’, as three circuits in the United States have similar characteristics.  

"It’s really funny, but I have a few US vib𒁃es here. It’s English everywhere which is nice, and the track really reminds me of a couple of tracks - Road Atlanta, VAR in Virginia and Pittsburgh in the North-East," he said.  

"It seems like this track gives me a lot of vibes from those tracks and for sure it helps when I go out and ride. I had a♎﷽ lot of fun today." 

Another Yamaha rider who went well today was Toprak Razgatlioglu - P3 overall - proving once again that the Yamaha is a s✱trong and perhaps favoured package to be on at the Leicestershire b🦹ased circuit. 

Gerloff added: "I feel like already, I have a really good bike 🎉and for sure the Yamaha R1 has historically gone well here, ꦬlike it does at most tracks. 

"I’m really looking🌞 forward to tomorrow and qualifying to get into that first race. 

"Like I said, I have a good feeling around here for this track and with the bike, and I want to get back on the bike right now, I just want to get out ꧙on the grid and go racing."
