Sara Sánchez and Natalia Rivera are ready to return to action this weekend at Donington Park, Great Britain, as the Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team tackles Round 3 of the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship.

Both riders will compete aboard their Yamaha R7 machines, following a strong showing in Cremona, where Sánchez and Rivera delivered consistent performances and solid results.

Last year, Sánchez claimed a double podium in the UK and is now aiming to build on that success and fight for even more in 2025. For Rivera, it will be her first-ever appearance at Donington Park. She plans to make the most of Friday’s free practice sessions to get confidence with the Yamaha R7 and adapt to the circuit quickly and find a strong rhythm on the iconic British track.

The weekend will kick off with Free Practice and Superpole qualifying on Friday. Race 1 is scheduled for Saturday at 12:20 local time, followed by Race 2 at the same time on Sunday.

Sara Sánchez: “We’re finally back racing, and that’s what matters most! I’ve trained a lot during the break and feel fully prepared for this round. Last year I was fighting for the win here, and this time I’m aiming to improve on that performance. I can’t wait to be back on track—we’ll do our best to enjoy the weekend and hopefully have stable weather, though we’re ready for anything, as conditions in the UK can change quickly.”

“I’m really excited to start this new season and to continue working with the team. Last year was an important learning experience for all of us, and we made constant progress throughout the championship. Now it’s time to take the next step. We finished 2025 close to the front group, and the goal this season is to be there consistently and fight for our first podium. I feel more confident, more prepared and more determined than ever. Having Maria as a teammate is a huge opportunity — she’s a benchmark in this championship, and I want to learn everything I can from her. I’m hungry to improve and ready to prove myself.” “It’s been a while since the last round, and I’m really excited to be racing again! I worked hard during the break to be ready for this event and the rest of the season. My goal is to keep improving and stay consistently near the front. This won’t be my first time at Donington, but I’ll need to adapt to the Yamaha R7, so I’ll focus on adapting as quickly as possible. I’m confident we can adapt well and enjoy a strong weekend.”
