GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BEATRIZ NEILA and MARIA HERRERA head to Cremona dead even on points after their epic duels at Assen, where Neila claimed her first WorldWCR victory. HERRERA won at Cremona last year in Race 1 but crashed out of Race 2 after contact with SARA SANCHEZ, setting up another intense battle between the championship leaders.
  • Rookie standouts AVALON LEWIS and CHLOE JONES are proving the future of WorldWCR is bright. Lewis was running fourth and in podium contention at Assen before a late crash, while Jones consistently finished in the top seven. Both have the pace to shake up the established order at Cremona.
  • The Cremona test sessions split honors between the title contenders, with NEILA fastest on Day 1 and HERRERA topping Day 2. Home hero ROBERTA PONZIANI showed strong pace both days, and could be the wildcard that disrupts the championship fight on familiar Italian soil.

UPCOMING:

  • WorldWCR Round 2 – Cremona Circuit
  • Acerbis Italian Round races
