The Spanish rider made history as the first woman to win a race in the FIM CEV Repsol. After a series of wildcard appearances in the Spanish rounds of the Moto3™ World Championship with the Junior Estrella Galicia 0,0 team, she made her full-season debut in 2015 with Husqvarna under the Spanish LaGlisse banner. Her standout result that year was an 11th-place finish at the Australian Grand Prix. In 2016 and 2017, she competed in the Moto3™ World Championship with the AGR Team before making the switch to the WorldSSP300 category in 2018, where she finished 13th overall with 45 points. In 2019, she joined the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup with the Ángel Nieto Team. Her rookie season in the electric class saw a best result of fifth place—an achievement she aimed to build on in 2020 and 2021, though both campaigns proved difficult. She returned to MotoE™ in 2022, but continued to struggle to break through. That season was highlighted by her historic appearance in the Moto3™ Aragon Grand Prix, where she competed as a wildcard for the all-female Angeluss MTA Racing team—marking a landmark moment in the sport. In 2023, her performance remained steady before signing with the Klint Forward Factory Team for 2024. In her first year with the new team, she secured a Top 10 finish and ended the season 16th in the standings. Now, heading into 2025, the question remains—can she take the next step forward and continue her rise with the same team?
