- If you're a fan of motorcycle road racing then it's likely you've heard of the 27 year old Texan by the name of Garrett Gerloff but it's also likely you don't really know him. The two time MotoAmerica Supersport Champion and multi-race Superbike winner left the USA at the end of 2019 with a goal to make it to the top of the sport.
Garrett recently made a switch from Yamaha to BMW for the 2023 season which begins a new chapter for him after facing some very high & low points over the course of his first two seasons - ranging from WSBK podiums to MotoGP wildcards, and even his share of international drama.
We talk through his career thus far, some of the pivotal moments, and especially where he is at now in life on and away from the race track. We hope you enjoy getting to know Garrett as much as we did.

Thanks for having me out! Had a blast out there and really enjoyed the convo! Appreciate y’all giving racers a platform to ramble about stuff! 👊🏽👊🏽
It was a great pod. Stoked to have you on.
So awesome … but how do you feel about Toprak coming to BMW ?
Awesome to hear some of your journey Garrett and stoked to hear you've got merch coming!
@@pipedreams_pod I like the fact that Garrett have the courage to give a shot to try everything he could to reach his dream especially going to Europe believing only in his skills. That was cool. Shame he was in different route not in the traditional MotoGP category when he was young.
Especially now that MotoGP badly needs an American rider that would represent US. Joe Roberts came close in 2020 but seems went south after the switch to Italtrans.
In case you would call a time in your career. I think the best thing to do is to transition to become a part of a team crew or Crew Chief or something maybe like J. Hopkins in Moto2. But it would be better if you would be in MotoGP team. That would be an awesome job post racing Garrett.
That way you can also find your woman there, through the gorgeous umbrella girls of the team. Win win situation. 😁 But you still got time to keep racing in Wsbk. Try to keep in longer as possible. Good luck
“What’s the point of having those 32 abs on your stomach” hahaha. Good one
Garrett there were a lot of us fans in 2021 who never stopped believing in you and just knew that you were being treated a bit unfairly. I wish our voices could have shouted down all the negativity that was sent your way and that you put on yourself. I think you will get the chance to be Toprak's team mate again soon and are destined for more greatness!
Love the podcast. James and Corey, pants from now on guys…. that or shorts must be LONGER than figertip length. Y’all on here with one testie hanging out lol
Gotta cool them studs off. Keep your eyes outta the gutter ;)
That’s a honest, raw, humbling hardtalk podcast, especially about assen 2021. As a diehard Toprak fan, i was really pissed at that time. It’s very refreshing to hear Garrett’s side in raw words. Thanks a lot you all. I hope the best for Garrett. For onwards in wsbk, please don’t make us to get mad at you man 😅cause we do not really really want to.
Thank you for the comment. We appreciate the support.
That was such a terrific podcast! Loving the long format which really allows the listeners to learn more about the guests. Garrett is so badass and down-to-earth and easy to root for. Pulling for him and this podcast to make it to the top. cmonnn!!!!
Now it would be really great if BMW moved you the factory team alongside Toprak!. Great interview!
F yeah! Been waiting for this one! Us Houston bois be rooting for you!
Heck yeah!! 💪🏾
What a great show! GG being so honest! Mind blown!
dude he seems so genuine, good guy. hope to see him better in wsbk got some poduims, sToprak is crazy magical btw
Thank you so much for this interview with Garrett
This is the best in-depth interview I’ve seen
Awesome work
🇦🇺
I've followed GG31 through MA and WSBK, but I'll be honest, after some of those incidents in 2021 I kinda stopped. I admit I gave in to the knee-jerk reaction of some of the negative publicity surrounding how things unfolded. But for real, this podcast is exactly what I wanted to hear - the humanity of how everything happened. I still follow GG on his regular vlogs, but I am now even more of a fan. Hearing about his motivations, inspirations and his genuine character has made me a believer.
You guys are doing a great job showing the part of racing that doesn't get covered as thoroughly, and in the rider's own words. I'm working my way through your podcasts but call me a fan of Pipe Dreams Podcasts now too.
Wow. That is really nice of you to say.. We are trying our best to bring valuable content. We appreciate you listening the pod and for being a fan of Garret.
Garret is so rad, I’ve been watching him since MotoAmerica and it was awesome to hear the insight from riding different bikes and qualifying experience on Rossi’s gp bike. Keep the Pod going!
This was awesome!
