Women's World Championship, Hungary: Herrera, Neila and Jones return to their podiums

Check out the reactions of the podium finishers at the fourth round of the Women's World Championship in Hungary.

The Women's World Championship visited Hungary for the first time last weekend, at the Balaton Park circuit, to play its fourth round. María Herrera et Beatriz Neila achieved the same results in both races, leaving their gap in the championship at nine points, while Chloe Jones has always managed to intervene.

In Race 1, María Herrera won alone, while Chloe Jones took advantage of an error of Beatrice Neila in the last lap to take second place.

María Herrera (1st): "I'm really happy with the result because I didn't start from pole, I don't know the track well and there are places where I could improve. I thank Yamaha because we had a small problem and they solved it for the race. Thanks also to my team. My victory is for José, a friend."

Chloe Jones (2th): “It’s an incredible feeling! Getting a podium at home is the best feeling ever, but finishing second here against two great riders is incredible. I’m really happy to have done it in front of this crowd too.”

Beatrice Neila (3th): "The race was a bit difficult, but in the end I did a good job. I made a mistake in the last chicane, but I'm happy; it's a good result for the championship. Tomorrow is a new day, a new opportunity."

In Race 2, Neila took first place at the halfway point, at the expense of Herrera, who was also overtaken by Jones in the maneuver. The three women maintained their position until the finish.

Beatrice Neila (1st): “Yesterday I was just happy, now I’m super happy! It’s good for me to finish first today because it means the championship is still open and very close. I’m going to continue to work hard and focus on myself, as always. Thanks to my team because their support is incredible, thanks to my family. This victory is for Pau*.”

*Pau Alsina died on July 21 in Teruel, during private tests at MotorLand Aragon while participating in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship.

Chloe Jones (2th): "I'm obviously over the moon and it shows that Donington wasn't just a flash in the pan, I've got two podiums. It's incredible. I thank my whole team, my family, everyone who helped me get here. It's been a long road but we're showing that we can be here."

María Herrera (3th): “The race was difficult, I didn't expect Neila to overtake me so easily on the straight. It's a disappointing race but I'm happy for the points because it's very important for the championship. I'm also happy to have finished the race because it was very difficult for me on the straight and I had to recover everything on braking. We'll see at Magny-Cours.”
