Beatriz Neila Santos (born 10 March 1997) is a Spanish motorcycle racer currently competing in the FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship. She won the Women's European Cup in 2020, 2021 and 2023. The series was raised to Championship status in 2023, which Neila won. Neila is also an ambassador for her birthplace Arganda del Rey, the European City of Sport 2024,[3] and for the FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship.

Career

Neila's first experience of motorcycles was when she was eight and her father had brought her younger brother a minibike for his fifth birthday which Neila was allowed to ride. She soon had her own machine.[4]

Her competitive career started in 2011 when she competed in races in the Madrid area in the minimoto class.[5] The next year she moved up to the MiniGP 110 class, competing in 2 rounds of the Cuna de Campeones.[6] In 2013 Neila came 10th in the Cuna de Campeones MiniGP 140 class. Riding an 80cc machine she came 8th in the class of the Copa España Velocidad (CEV) Challenge in 2014. Moving up to a Honda CBR250 for 2015 she came third in both the Femines Championship Catalan Velocidad and the Femines Championship Mediterraneo Velocidad. The following year she won both of these championships on a Honda CBR300.[7]

In 2017 Neila was selected to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. She also signed with Team Stratos to compete in the FIM CEV European Talent Cup. During pre-season testing for the Red Bull Rookies Cup at MotorLand Aragón in April Neila had a serious accident breaking her right femur, left wrist and nose. Initially it was thought her injuries would prevent her riding for four or five months[5] but she was back competing in late June.[8]

Returning to Spain in 2018, she competed in the National Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Challenge for BCD Yamaha MS Racing.[4] MS Racing also entered her as a wildcard rider in the Aragón round of the Supersport 300 World Championship.[9] Finishing 2nd in the R3 bLU cRU Challenge earned her a place in the 2019 Supersport 300 World Championship with MS Racing[4] as part of the Yamaha Motor Europe's Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Challenge.[6]

In 2019 Neila attended the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp at Valentino Rossi's Motor Ranch, the first female to do so. Neila was also invited to compete in the 2019 100km dei Campioni at Rossi’s Motor Ranch.[4]

Lack of funding prevented her from competing in the 2020 Supersport 300 World Championship, competing in the inaugural Women's European Cup instead.[4] Neila won the cup, winning 4 of the 5 rounds.[10] She dominated the series again in 2021 and 2022. In 2023 the series was upgraded to the Women's European Championship and was won yet again by Neila.[11]

The Pata Prometeon Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team announced Neila as their entry for the 2024 FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship,[11] with sponsorship from the Ampito Group.[12]
