The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team is delighted to announce that the team will extend its commitment to racing with the brand new Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team, which will compete in the 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship, featuring Sara Sánchez and Natalia Rivera as riders.
Sara Sánchez, 27 years old, enjoyed a very successful maiden campaign in the 2024 WorldWCR Championship, finishing third in the standings, collecting two race victories, nine podiums and one pole position to her tally, making the Spaniard one of the strongest riders in the field. She previously managed to make herself a name in the Women’s European Cup in 2021, finishing second in the Championship just one point off the title, as well as competing in some WorldSSP300 races in the past years.
Her teammate will be Natalia Rivera, who conquered the 2024 FIM Women’s European Championship. The Spaniard, 17 years old at the time, managed to score seven podiums in the FIM SSP300 WEC on her way to the title. Prior to that, she finished second in the same Championship in 2023, with six podiums, as well as achieving a remarkable second place in the FIM Yamaha bLU cRU World Cup Super Finale in Portimao Race 1. She also competed in 2022 FIM Yamaha bLU cRU World Cup, collecting some rostrum finishes. At the age of 18, Rivera is now ready to debut in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship, challenging the fastest riders in the World.
The Team is also delighted to welcome Terra&Vita within the WorldSBK arena, partnering and syncing with GRT as Title Partner for the 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship campaign. Like the Team, Terra&Vita has high expectations for the 2025 season, sharing commitment, dedication and passion, the same values found in GRT.
Sara Sánchez: “It’s a pleasure for me to be part again of the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship and also an honour to be part of the Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team. I saw their work in the WorldSBK field, I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter with them, and I would like to thank them for this opportunity. I enjoyed a positive debut season in the WorldWCR, managing to score two race wins and several podiums; the target is to improve what I did last year and I’m confident that the team will support me in the best way possible to make it possible. I cannot wait to be back on track!”
Natalia Rivera: “I’m super excited for this new adventure and to compete in the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship with the fastest riders in the World! I watched them in the inaugural Championship and I’m thrilled to share the track with them and testing myself in such competitive field. I enjoyed a very positive 2024 season, managing to achieve the FIM SSP300 Women’s European Championship Title, and that’s giving me a boost of confidence for the 2025 season. I would like to thank the Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team for their trust in me, I will make sure to do my best!”
Filippo Conti, Team Principal: “We are delighted to announce that we will compete in the 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship as Terra&Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR Team. This is a very important step for us, and extending our commitment to the WorldWCR means a lot for the team. We enjoyed the inaugural season of the Championship, a very competitive one, and we decided to take part of it, featuring in our line-up two talented girls such as Sara and Natalia. Sánchez proved herself already in 2024, scoring wins, poles and podiums, being one of the fastest rider on the grid and we’ll support her in the best way possible to improve her results and fight for even more. At the same time, Natalia is a very talented rider who made herself a name by winning the FIM SSP300 Women’s European Championship as well as achieving podiums in the FIM Yamaha bLU cRU World Cup. She’s very young, but we’re confident she’ll be able to fight for podiums and wins throughout the season. Last, but not least, I would like to welcome Terra&Vita with us, our Title Partner; together we share values, passion, dedication and commitment, and with them we have further strengthened our platform to take the fight in the 2025 season. We can’t wait to get started.”
