We still started in a good place so we weren\u2019t having to come from super-far behind, but I think for sure we ended with the best setting in the bike, in Race 2, so it\u2019s nice to end like that.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSometimes I leave the track still wondering what I\u2019m missing, but I felt like we had a good setting today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It was a good weekend in general for the Kawasaki group of riders, with Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani taking a fourth place each on Sunday. In Race 2 in particular, the Bimotas went 4-5 with Gerloff in that sixth place \u2013 a long way from the top three Ducatis, but ahead of most of the independent Ducatis and of the other factory bikes.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read Also<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-902737e3e4c09021f59a2145ed9c292a7a4b33bfd05de4a943c5d933e136f52e\">\n<div class=\"item-list\">\n<ul>\n<li>Multi-title-winning WorldSBK manufacturer considering 2027 expansion<\/li>\n<li>Garrett Gerloff signs new Kawasaki WorldSBK deal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/garrett-gerloff-2026-donington-park-worldsbk-07817.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Garrett Gerloff leads Axel Bassani, 2026 UK WorldSBK.
