Thai rider Muklada Sarapuech concluded her impressive 2026 WorldWCR season in sixth place in the overall standings, finishing level on points with Chloe Jones. Throughout a stellar rookie campaign, the 33-year-old secured two brilliant third-place podium finishes at Misano and Donington Park, alongside four additional top-five results that highlighted her adaptability and raw speed on the world stage.
Alongside her world championship commitments, she also competed in the fiercely contested Spanish R7-Cup. Proving her prowess in close-quarter battles, she secured fourth place overall in the standings and capped off the year in style by winning the season finale at Navarra. The championship featured strong competition, including former world championship riders and Jerez double-winner Paolo Ramos.
Reflecting on her journey, Sarapuech admitted that returning to active competition after a two-year hiatus made her initial outings feel like starting from scratch. However, the EEST-NJT rider quickly found her rhythm, earning widespread recognition for her natural talent and determination against seasoned European rivals.
Looking ahead to the upcoming 2027 season, the WorldWCR category prepares to transition from Yamaha R7 machinery to the new CF Moto 675SF-R platform. Team boss Robert Davidson confirmed that preparations and training are already underway as they aim to secure their grid spot for the next championship chase.
Beyond pure performance, Sarapuech's continued presence adds vital Asian representation to the global women's motorcycle racing landscape. With strong backing from her management and growing international visibility, the stage is set for an even more competitive campaign next year.
