GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MARIA HERRERA delivered when it mattered most, claiming her sixth WorldWCR pole position and third of 2025 at Jerez with a commanding 1’51.572s lap. The championship contender beat title rival BEATRIZ NEILA by over three tenths, setting up what promises to be an explosive final showdown between the only two riders still mathematically in the hunt for the crown.
  • The real story was wildcard PAOLA RAMOS pulling off the kind of debut performance that makes you believe in magic. The YVS Sabadell rider claimed third on the grid, just 0.375s off HERRERA’s pole time, proving that sometimes fresh eyes and fearless riding can shake up even the most established pecking orders in women’s motorcycle racing.
  • Behind the front row drama, ROBERTA PONZIANI secured fourth for Klint Forward Racing while Australia’s TAYLA RELPH rounded out the top five for Full Throttle Racing. CHLOE JONES showed smart tactical riding, following the championship leaders to improve her final time and claim seventh, while American MALLORY DOBBS kept the international flavor strong with a top-ten finish for Diva Racing.
