2025 FIM WOMEN’S CIRCUIT RACING WORLD CHAMPION
Following last season’s inaugural FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship, the battle for the 2025 crown was expected to be intense and fans were not disappointed as the sport’s fastest females raced furiously across six rounds.
Last year’s silver medallist, Spain’s Maria Herrera set the pace during the early part of 2024 and the twenty-nine-year-old again started strongly with victory in the opening race of the season in the Netherlands in mid-April, a finish she backed up with second in race two to take a share of the championship lead into round two in Italy.
With Yamaha as sole manufacturer to ensure a level playing field, the experienced Herrera – who has contested high-level series including the FIM Moto3™ and MotoE™ World Championships in a career stretching back for over a decade – then ran two-one to assume sole command.
With her compatriot Beatriz Neila applying season-long pressure, Herrera took a race win at every round as the championship travelled from Great Britain to Hungary and France before the deciding round at Jerez in Spain in mid-October.
Leading Neila by only six points, victory in the opening race followed by sixth in race two gave her the title by just five points.
