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.
