Over the past 15 years, more and more women have made an impact in the world racing scene. Laia Sanz may be the Queen of the Desert, but Ana Carrasco and Maria Herrera have broken down barriers in road racing worldwide. With International Women’s Day falling on March 8, 2022, the Superbike World Championship (WSBK) celebrates the women that make the racing world go ‘round.
Today, women like MIE Racing Honda team manager Midori Moriwaki and Gil Motor Sport-Yamaha team manager Ophelie Ponsson are blazing trails for future generations of women leaders in the sport. FIM WorldSBK Medical Director Monica Lazzarotti also sets an excellent example, determining care for the World Supersport (300 and 600 classes) and WSBK throughout the season.
