Jerusalem, 23 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israeli Baja motorcycle racer Alona Ben Natan on Sunday took second place in the Dubai Baja World Cup, propelling her to the number one female racer in the overall Baja World Cup.
“This race, for me, what was important is to finish the race because I am leading the world championship in the female category,” Ben Natan told The Press Service of Israel after the race.
Other races on the Baja World Cup circuit include Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
“I wasn’t in Saudi Arabia or Jordan because of the situation, but I competed in other races. Most of them I finished first or second. That’s why I have the highest qualification,” the 36-year-old Ben Natan explained to TPS-IL.
In Baja racing, competitors thread their way from waypoint to waypoint, making split-second route choices over hundreds of kilometers each day. “It’s all about navigation, focus and to ride very fast,” Ben Natan explained to TPS-IL while training for the Dubai race.
She hopes to amass enough points and sponsors to participate in the Dakar Rally.
