July 25, 2025

• BEATRIZ NEILA dominated Balaton Park’s inaugural WorldWCR qualifying, claiming her third pole of the season and second consecutive with a commanding 0.340s margin over title rival MARIA HERRERA. The Madrid rider’s 1’53.526s lap set the standard at the Hungarian circuit, proving she’s hitting her stride at exactly the right moment in the championship fight.
• PAKITA RUIZ delivered the breakthrough performance we’ve been waiting for, securing her career-best P5 grid position with PR46+1 Racing Team. Meanwhile, rookie NATALIA RIVERA continued her impressive development with a career-high P9 qualifying result, showing the depth of talent coming through the WorldWCR ranks.
• The grid shuffle drama saw CHLOE JONES lose three positions due to a slow riding penalty, moving her from P3 to P6 and handing ROBERTA PONZIANI an unexpected front row promotion. AVALON LEWIS maintained her consistent form with another P8 result, while SARA SANCHEZ rounds out the second row despite originally qualifying sixth.
