GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team\u2019s Garrett Gerloff scored an eighth-place result in both of Sunday\u2019s FIM Superbike World Championship races at Magny-Cours, with Kohta Nozane taking a top 15 finish in Race 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Superpole Race, Gerloff showed strong pace, but lost positions to run ninth at the end of the opening lap. The American battled throughout the 10-lap contest and crossed the line in eighth, while his teammate finished 16th after a solid performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, in the warmer second race, Gerloff get off the line well but found himself outside the top 10 following some light contact. The 27-year-old managed to recover those positions and held off Loris Baz\u2019s BMW to match his SPRC result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the garage, after finishing 16th in the sprint, Nozane enjoyed a decent start and gained a couple of places. Eventually, the #3 rider showed solid pace despite struggling with tyre wear at the end, taking one point in 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team will come back in two weeks for the eighth round at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmel\u00f3 on 23-25 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garrett Gerloff: SPRC \u2013 P8 \/ Race 2 \u2013 P8
<\/strong>\"Today was a bit difficult, everybody had really good pace. The Superpole Race is always hectic and tough to manage, but at least I was able to recover to eighth place, which is better than nothing. Same thing in Race 2, I had contact from another rider and went wide, so I had to fight my way back. It is what it is, but I\u2019ll keep fighting and focus on Barcelona, where I have good memories from 2020.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kohta Nozane: SPRC \u2013 P16 \/ Race 2 \u2013 P15
<\/strong>\u201cOverall the day wasn\u2019t too bad, but it\u2019s not enough. We tried something different for Race 2 and the pace was OK, even though in the final stages I struggled a bit with the tyres. To come back and score points is positive, but we are aiming for more. We\u2019ll head to Barcelona now, I like the circuit so we\u2019ll try to enjoy a strong weekend there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
