The Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team wrapped up a competitive Saturday at Italy\u2019s Cremona Circuit for Round 2 of the FIM Women\u2019s Circuit Racing World Championship, with Sara S\u00e1nchez fighting hard to finish fifth in Race 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day started with Warm Up 1 at 09:30 local time, where both S\u00e1nchez and her teammate Natalia Rivera used the session effectively to prepare for the race. S\u00e1nchez (#64) ended the session 13th, while Rivera (#20) placed 10th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of Race 1, S\u00e1nchez had a difficult launch from the second row, dropping to sixth on the opening lap. Despite the setback, the Spanish rider showed strong and consistent pace throughout the 12-lap race, eventually reclaiming fifth and securing valuable championship points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivera, making just her second appearance in the World Championship, showed steady progress and good race rhythm. After a promising start, the 18-year-old steadily worked her way forward, demonstrating solid late-race pace to finish 14th and earn more points for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara S\u00e1nchez \u2013 P5<\/strong>
\u201cPurtroppo ho avuto una partenza complicata che ha reso tutto pi\u00f9 difficile. Nonostante ancora non mi senta completamente a mio agio sulla moto, sentivo di avere il passo per lottare per il podio, ma ho perso troppo tempo nelle battaglie iniziali e non sono riuscita a raggiungere il gruppo davanti. \u00c8 un po\u2019 un peccato, ma \u00e8 stata comunque una gara positiva. Domani in Gara 2 l\u2019obiettivo sar\u00e0 partire bene per restare subito con le prime e lottare per il podio, oltre a continuare a lavorare sul setting per ritrovare le migliori sensazioni.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia Rivera \u2013 P14<\/strong>
\u201cWe\u2019re making progress step by step, and I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll be in the mix soon. Today was a tough race, but I managed to be consistent and gather valuable experience. It\u2019s another step in the right direction. We\u2019ll take the positives from today, continue working hard, and aim to improve again tomorrow in Race 2.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
