The Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team returned to action at the legendary Donington Park circuit for the latest round of the FIM Women\u2019s Circuit Racing World Championship, where Sara S\u00e1nchez delivered a strong performance to secure a front-row start in the Superpole session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weekend kicked off with Free Practice 1 at 09:40 local time. Both Sara S\u00e1nchez and Natalia Rivera showed promising pace on British soil. S\u00e1nchez (#64) impressed with the second-fastest time of 1\u201940.578, while Rivera (#20) ended the session in ninth, posting a 1\u201942.420.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the day, at 14:10, the team headed back out for the crucial Superpole session. Both riders improved their lap times as they aimed for solid grid positions ahead of Race 1. S\u00e1nchez narrowly missed out on pole by just 0.241s but still secured a strong third place with a 1\u201939.928. Rivera delivered a solid run to qualify 11th, matching the lap time of the 10th-placed rider (1\u201942.160).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara Sanchez: P3 (1\u201939.928)
<\/strong>\"First of all, it feels great to be back! We had a strong start this morning and kept improving throughout the day, finishing Superpole with a solid front-row position for Race 1. It\u2019ll be important to stay with the leading group in the early laps and aim for the win or at least the podium. We\u2019ll keep pushing to find more pace, but we\u2019re ready for what\u2019s ahead. I can\u2019t wait to be back on track tomorrow!\" <\/em>Non vedo l\u2019ora di tornare in pista domani!\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia Rivera: P11 (1\u201942.160)
<\/strong>\"Overall, it was a decent Friday. I felt good on the bike in the morning and, despite some traffic, I managed to put in a few quick laps. That gave me confidence for Superpole, where I improved my lap time. Unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t enough to break into the Top 10 \u2014 even though I matched the same time as the 10th rider \u2014 but it was still a solid improvement. We\u2019re learning and moving forward step by step, which is positive. I hope to fight for a good position tomorrow, I believe we can do it.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
