Riding the YZR-M1 motorcycle, Garrett Gerloff recorded his best lap time during the first day of the 2020 European MotoGP with 1 minute 34.107 seconds.
After going through a series of sessions on Friday (6/11/202) at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Valencia, Spain, the American driver expressed the impression he felt.
After running two FP sessions, Garrett Gerloff felt that the characteristics of the YZR-M1 were slightly different than the WSBK, that is, the Yamaha YZF-R1.
“The M1 is a bit of a superbike, the M1 is the base R1 but on a different level. However, the bike is still quite friendly to ride,” said Garrett Gerloff.
