GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MARIA HERRERA secured the 2025 WorldWCR championship with a strategic sixth-place finish at Jerez, capping off a dominant season with six race wins and four podiums across 12 races. The Klint Forward Racing rider played it smart in the final race, managing her championship position despite admitting she “almost crashed a couple of times” while battling in a chaotic eight-rider group for podium positions.
- Wildcard PAOLA RAMOS stole the show in her WorldWCR debut weekend, building an incredible 9.5-second lead from pole to claim a masterful Race 2 victory. The YVS Sabadell rider’s flawless performance included setting a new lap record and proved that fresh talent can shake up established hierarchies – exactly the kind of breakthrough we love to see when opportunity meets preparation.
- The championship battle went down to the wire with BEATRIZ NEILA finishing just five points behind Herrera despite being the only rider to reach the podium in every single race this season. Her four wins and consistent excellence throughout 2025 proved that sometimes the most deserving competitor doesn’t always get the crown, but her runner-up finish sets up a compelling rivalry for 2026.
- CHLOE JONES completed a breakthrough rookie season by securing third in the championship standings with 164 points and six podiums, showing the kind of rapid development that makes you believe the future of women’s motorcycle racing is in excellent hands. Meanwhile, veterans like LUCIE BOUDESSEUL rounded out the podium and PAKITA RUIZ delivered her best result of the season with fourth place after fighting from tenth on the grid.
