Gerloff is one of the latest riders to move over from MotoAmerica after fighting with Cameron Beaubier for the title, he was rewarded by Yamaha with a WorldSBK seat and will be aiming to improve on his 2020 results with some race wins, his eyes on the factory Pata Yamaha seat in the future.

Garett Gerloff: I’m just super excited to be staying with the GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Junior Team for the 2021 season. This year has been incredible; the people I work with on the team are exceptional, really positive and awesome people, so to be able to continue with them is fantastic. It’s going to be nice to hopefully have more of a normal year and to have some consistency in the team will be great for me. I’m really excited to be getting the new Yamaha R1 as well. Hopefully, it will give us even more performance to take the fight to the current frontrunners in the championship. Thank you so much to Yamaha for continuing with me and for giving me another opportunity to improve and show what I can do. I owe them and my team manager Filippo Conti everything. I think that we can do some great things next year and I’m more focused and determined than ever.
