GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MARIA HERRERA (Yamaha) notched her second WorldWCR victory of the 2026 season at Assen, running Pirelli DIABLO Superbike SC1 compound rubber front and rear in the women’s championship race.
  • The Spanish rider’s win came during a weekend dominated by Pirelli’s SCX supersoft tire, which set a new Assen lap record despite track temperatures hovering around 20°C—unusually low for optimal soft compound performance.
  • HERRERA’s victory adds to her early-season momentum in WorldWCR competition, demonstrating consistency on the challenging Dutch circuit as the women’s championship continues to build its 2026 calendar presence alongside WorldSBK programming.
