FULL BIO: Natalia Rivera
At just 18 years old, Natalia Rivera has already claimed the 2024 Women’s European Motorcycle Championship and secured a spot in the 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship. This Spanish sensation from Madrid is proving that age is just a number when you’ve got the throttle control to back up the talent.
EARLY YEARS
Born on November 21, 2006, in Madrid, Spain, Natalia Rivera entered the world during a time when women’s motorcycle racing was still fighting for recognition and respect. While details about her family background and early introduction to motorsports remain private, her current level of competition suggests she found her way to two wheels at a remarkably young age. Growing up in Spain’s capital, she would have been surrounded by a rich motorsports culture that has produced champions across multiple racing disciplines.
OTHER INTERESTS
Like many young athletes focused intensely on their racing careers, Natalia keeps her personal interests and hobbies largely out of the public eye. At 18, she’s at an age where most people are discovering themselves, but her commitment to professional motorcycle racing suggests her free time is likely consumed by training, travel, and the demands of competing at the highest levels of women’s motorcycle racing.
EARLY SUCCESS
Rivera’s trajectory into professional motorcycle racing demonstrates the kind of rapid progression that separates future champions from weekend warriors. By 2024, she had secured a ride with the TERRA & VITA GRT YAMAHA WORLDWCR TEAM, piloting a Yamaha YZF-R7 in the FIM European Women’s Championship. Her breakthrough moment came at Autodromo Imola, where she clinched the 2024 Women’s European Championship with podium finishes that showcased both her racecraft and her ability to perform under pressure. This achievement at such a young age immediately marked her as one of the most promising talents in women’s motorcycle racing.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2024: Won FIM European Women’s Championship, clinching title at Autodromo Imola with podium finishes.
- 2024: Secured podium finish in Race 2 at Autodromo Imola.
- 2025: Signed to compete in FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship with TERRA & VITA GRT YAMAHA WORLDWCR TEAM.
INSPIRATIONS
Rivera has kept her personal influences and inspirations private, focusing public attention on her racing rather than her backstory. Whether she was inspired by Spanish motorcycle legends, international champions, or family members remains part of the mystery that surrounds this young talent’s rise to prominence.
REPUTATION
Within the paddock, Natalia has quickly established herself as a serious competitor with the racecraft to match her ambition. Her 2024 European Championship victory earned recognition from Yamaha’s official racing communications as a young talent with notable skill on track. Media coverage consistently emphasizes her championship success and rapid promotion to higher-level competition, painting her as a rising star in European women’s motorcycle racing. No controversies or disputes have marked her early career, suggesting a professional approach that matches her on-track maturity.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
For 2025, Rivera will step up to compete in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship, taking over from Ran Yochay on the TERRA & VITA GRT YAMAHA WORLDWCR TEAM roster. This represents a significant leap from European to world-level competition, where she’ll face international talent while continuing to develop her skills on the Yamaha YZF-R7. While she hasn’t publicly stated specific goals beyond 2025, her trajectory suggests ambitions that extend well beyond regional championships.
