GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CHLOE JONES closed the 2026 WorldWCR season with a podium at Jerez, executing a bold final-corner pass on newly crowned world champion MARIA HERRERA.
  • Jones finished 5th in the championship, the only rider besides HERRERA to score points in all twelve races — a mark of remarkable consistency.
  • A difficult mid-season slump saw Jones drop to 14th after Race 1; her recovery to 5th overall underlines serious mental and competitive resilience.
  • Behind the scenes, CORINNE LOWES brokered Jones’s move to the Crescent team after GR Motorsport folded, securing Monster support to keep her on the grid.
  • Jones faces uncertainty again for 2027: Crescent’s Yamaha ties mean it exits WorldWCR as CF Moto becomes the spec bike, leaving her seat in doubt.
