Ninja ZX-10RR And Gerloff Set For Second Jerez Test

Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) will soon return to the Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto for his second test on the official Ninja ZX-10RR he will compete with in the 2025 FIM Superbike World Championship.

Recent signing Gerloff and his newly-official Kawasaki Puccetti Racing team will take part in a two day test at Jerez, between 26-27 November.

Gerloff is hoping to continue the good work he and his team put in during their first test together, when he settled into the groove in confident fashion. He was fourth fastest rider of all in the October test at Jerez, having set a 1’39.229 lap time on the second day.

Lap times will not be the primary focus of the November test as this is the last on-track riding opportunity Garrett will have on the ZX-10RR before the start of the long winter break.

Garrett Gerloff, stated: “I am really happy to be coming back to Jerez for another test on the Ninja ZX-10RR. The last test that I did I felt very good on the bike immediately. I also felt that the pace wasn’t so bad, even though it was my first time on the bike. I am excited to see what is possible at this test and I know that I will find some more items and things that will help us find a really good way before the Christmas break. I am looking forward to getting to Jerez and seeing the whole team again.” 

Manuel Puccetti, Team Principal, stated: “These two days of testing in Jerez are the natural continuation of those we carried out at the end of October, also at the Andalusian track. The next tests will be important because they will allow Garrett to adapt even better to our 2025 Ninja ZX-10RR and provide an opportunity for our technicians to start working on its performance potential. The bike will have the 2025 livery, as will the rider’s clothing. We have identified some areas of the bike set-up on which we want to work on and we are eager to get back on track to prepare for next season.”
