MARIA HERRERA Takes WorldWCR Victory at Balaton, CHLOE JONES Career-Best 2nd

July 26, 2025

• MARIA HERRERA delivered her most commanding WorldWCR performance yet, pulling away for a 1.395-second victory at Balaton Park Circuit – the largest margin we’ve seen in the series this season. Her fourth win extends her championship lead to 18 points, proving she’s hitting her stride at exactly the right moment in this title fight.
• CHLOE JONES grabbed her career-best WorldWCR result with a brilliant second place, capitalizing on BEATRIZ NEILA’s final-lap mistake to snatch her first-ever P2 finish. The British rider’s late-race composure shows she’s learning how to close out these opportunities – exactly what we want to see from someone building momentum.
• The race turned into a four-rider thriller early on, with SARA SANCHEZ fighting through the pack to briefly lead before settling for fifth. Meanwhile, ROBERTA PONZIANI set the fastest lap while chasing the leaders, and AVALON LEWIS continued her metronomic consistency with another top-10 finish – she literally never misses when she makes it to the checkered flag.
