Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team is pleased to announce the renewal of its agreement with Natalia Rivera, who will continue her journey in the Women\u2019s Circuit Racing World Championship for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European Champion in 2024, the young Spanish rider joined the WorldWCR this year with Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team, making her debut on the global stage aboard the Yamaha R7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At just 18 years old, Rivera has impressed throughout the five rounds contested so far, showing steady progress and quickly establishing herself among the front runners, being close to podium positions already in her rookie season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal for 2026 will be to build on these results and consistently challenge for top positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the team announces the conclusion of its collaboration with Sara S\u00e1nchez, which will come to an end at the close of the current season. We warmly thank Sara for the journey shared together and wish her the very best for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m 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\u2019s 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 \u2014 she\u2019s a benchmark in this championship, and I want to learn everything I can from her. I\u2019m hungry to improve and ready to prove myself.\u201d <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m really happy to continue with the Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team. We have grown a lot together, round after round, and I\u2019m looking forward to finishing the season fighting consistently among the best, as happened in Magny-Cours. Making my debut in the Women\u2019s World Championship was both an incredible emotion and a big challenge, having to adapt quickly to a new bike and to such a high-level championship. My goal is to keep improving and regularly battle for the top positions. I want to thank the team for their support and trust \u2014 I\u2019ll do my best to repay it in the best possible way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simone Bustreo (Team Principal): <\/strong>\u201cWe are proud to announce Natalia\u2019s renewal for the 2026 season. In her rookie year, she has already shown speed, maturity, and adaptability, despite her young age and the challenge of entering such a competitive championship as the WorldWCR. Our goal is to continue this path together, fighting consistently for top positions. At the same time, we bid farewell to Sara S\u00e1nchez, to whom we are grateful for what we have achieved together. It is the end of an important and emotional chapter, but also the beginning of new opportunities for both sides. We wish her all the best for the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
