SSP 300 Women’s European Championship:
Natalia Rivera wins the opening round at Misano World Circuit
With the first round out of eight, the SSP 300 Women’s European Championship kicked off at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Italy.
In terms of women’s racing series, the Championship is setting the benchmark at the European level thanks to the hard work of FIM Europe and organisers EMG Eventi and MotoXracing, which have always believed in this project. A concept that dates back to 2020 with the creation of the Women’s European Cup, the series quickly grew in significance and last year became the Women’s European Championship.
Natalia Resel Rivera (Team Trasimeno) is the winner of the first race.
The young Spanish rider, who took the pole on Sunday morning, fought against Josephine Bruno (Team Gradara) and Patrycja Sowa (Sowa Racing Team), who had been able to get ahead of Rivera when the lights went out. On lap two Rivera took the lead and held the first place to the chequered flag. Second placed rider Josephine Bruno put in a strong performance, but was unable to set the pace despite an aggressive start. Rider Patrycja Sowa rounds out a very positive weekend on the third step of the podium.
The chasing group closed much as it did in qualifying with Beatrice Barbera (GP3 AD11) fourth, followed by Arianna Barale (MRT Corse), Nicole Ciccilini (Prata Motorsport) and Silvia Comincioli (Team MotoXracing) and Denise Dal Zotto (Team MotoXracing). Saidatul Zakirah Zairin (GP3 AD11) and Maria Saluste (Motoclub Sinlind) completed the top ten.
