MATHILDE MARTINEZ leads Moto Women into Loon Plage showdown

November 4, 2026

• MATHILDE MARTINEZ enters round three leading Moto Women on maximum points, dominating both Morocco races and going 2-1 in Italy in her debut season in the class.
• Her only defeat so far came at the hands of wild card KIARA FONTANESI on a GASGAS in Italy — a result that underlines the depth of talent challenging the French Honda rider.
• Defending champion MATHILDE DENIS sits just 14 points back, making the single long-format race at Loon Plage a high-stakes moment where one error could flip the standings.
• The switch from two shorter races to one 2.5-hour format raises the stakes on fitness and reliability — factors that could either protect or erase MARTINEZ’s slim points cushion.
