Roberta Ponziani has established herself as one of the most consistent riders in the WorldWCR championship. After finishing the season fourth in the world standings, the Italian rider is now facing the harsh reality of motorsport's financial demands. Despite securing one pole position, one fastest race lap, and three podium finishes throughout the season, she is currently working hard to find the necessary sponsorship to ensure her place on the grid next year.
The dominance of Spanish riders such as Maria Herrera, Paola Ramos, and Beatriz Neila has remained a significant hurdle for the rest of the field. However, Ponziani has consistently stood out from the pack, keeping constant pressure on the leading trio. She admits that while her recent season was positive in terms of performance, her targets are now set significantly higher. At 30 years old, she believes she possesses the technical maturity required to tackle even greater challenges on the track.
Reflecting on her future, Ponziani expressed her ambition to remain competitive despite currently lacking a team contract. "I think my season was quite good. Although I was not able to secure a win or have those particularly special races like the one in Cremona a year ago, I was consistently able to keep up with the front runners," she said regarding her performance throughout the season.
Regarding the technical transition to the new machinery, Ponziani visited the EICMA motorcycle show to inspect the CF Moto 675SR-R. She holds high expectations for the increased power and lighter chassis compared to the previously used Yamaha R7. "Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to test the bike yet. From the outside, the motorcycle makes a good impression and it has more power—that could be a good thing," she noted.
Currently, her primary focus is developing her project for the upcoming season while actively seeking strategic partners. "I do not know if and how things will continue for me. It would be great if it works out, but at the moment I am still looking for a solution for next season. I am working on my project and looking for partners who want to be part of this journey and share my ambitions, values, and new goals," she concluded.
