I am really passionate about girls and women in motorsport, so I want to introduce some of the next generation of women in MotoGP because they are surely not talked about enough and deserve every support. Everyone knows and loves Maria Herrera and Ana Carrasco, probably the two lost influencial women for girls and motorcycle racing, but there's also many girls who are currently racing on the road to MotoGP and don't get the recognition they deserve. Part two: Anina Urlaß
Competing in: Moto4 Northern Cup, Moto4 European Cup (Wildcard)
Nationality: German
Age: 15 (*2010)
Anina is currently competing her second full season in the Moto4 Northern Cup, as one of two girls on the grid. She gave her debut in 2024 mid-season (her birthday is in July and you need to be at least 14 to enter, so she had to wait). Her first full season was 2025, where she had multiple podiums and finished 4th in the overall standings.
Currently, as of June 4th, '26, she is the championship leader with 85 points after four races.
She is the first girl to lead a Moto4/Talent Cup championship
This season, she got pole in all qualifyings, one win and three second places in the races
She is the first female rider to win a race on the road to MotoGP since Maria Herrera, and the first one ever to win a race in Moto4/Talent Cup
If she could learn from any rider in MotoGP or WSBK, she'd chose Fabio Quartararo
One of her role models is Taru Rinne
Her favorite animal is a flamingo and it's her superstition to wear flamingo socks for every race
Before joining Moto4, she competed in the Austrian MiniMoto, where she became the champion in 2023.
Guys she's my fav rider, please support her! The next race weekend will be this weekend in Balaton Park, Hungary and all races can be watched on Youtube. I'm convinced that she'll be the next woman in Moto3!
(Btw: If you don't have the ß on your keyboard, write her name as "Urlass" not "Urlab", it's not a b!)
Ai got only P8 in Q2 and finished the sprint outside the points, Anina crashed on the last lap after being in P1 for the entire race and loses her championship lead... not a good saturday for me and my favs🥲
the only thing i’ll say on this current discourse is that the rot of eurocentric femininity extends beyond drivers and that actually a wag will always be preferable to a female driver to brands and media. a weathly conventionally attractive quiet woman who doesn’t visibly do anything and refuses to be vocal about women’s issues will always be preferred to a woman who has to work hard and fight tooth and nail to get a fraction of the praise and money that wags and male drivers get. to praise an actual woman in motorsport who are actively changing norms and breaking barriers goes against everything these people believe and profit off of
I am really passionate about girls and women in motorsport, so I want to introduce some of the next generation of women in MotoGP because they are surely not talked about enough and deserve every support. Everyone knows and loves Maria Herrera and Ana Carrasco, probably the two lost influencial women for girls and motorcycle racing, but there's also many girls who are currently racing on the road to MotoGP and don't get the recognition they deserve. Starting with: Alejandra Fernández
Competes in: Red Bull Rookies Cup
Nationality: Spanish
Age: 17 (*2009)
Alejandra is currently the only girl on the grid of the Red Bull Rookies Cup, and the only the fourth girl in the Cup's history. The 2026 season is her second one. She finished her first season 24th in the standings with a total of 8 points.
Currently, as of June 3, '26, she's 23rd in the standings after 4 races, with one point that she earned in race #1 at Le Mans.
She started racing at age 4 after watching her older brother Javi and wanting to be like him, so he bought her a minibike and started training with her
Javi is 13 years older than her and, according to her, has always been the one who supported her the most. He always accompanies her to races as her mechanic and coach
Her role models, next to her brother, are Pedro Acosta and Marc Marquez
Before she joined the Rookies Cup, she raced in European Talent Cup and Spanish MiniMoto, where she finished second in the standings.
The reason why I'm starting with her is because I feel like the Red Bull Rookies Cup is probably the most well-known competition on junior level, so I feel like she's probably more known than most other girls.
kinda funny actually because after seeing like 50 spaniards calling him a son of a btch and asking for a penalty on Twitter, I read an article on a German news site where most of the comment section agreed that he was actually too polite😅
Crutchlow DNF because he has a stress fracture in his shoulder...
Also Fernandez and Razgatlioglu are losing one place each (for contact with another rider (Raul) and track limits (Toprak) apparently) P8 -> P9; P15 -> P16
