Iryna Nadieieva may not be one of the most well-known riders in international motorcycle racing, but her journey is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring stories in the new Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR).

At 29 years old, Nadieieva only started racing four years ago, when she decided to buy a Yamaha FZ8 with a friend. Before that, she had never even been on a motorcycle, but she was instantly captivated: ‘Motorcycles have given me the best feelings I’ve ever had in my life. I will never forget my first time on a bike and I will never forget my first race’, she told the WorldWCR press department.

Starting her racing career at 25, in a country with little motorcycle racing tradition like Ukraine, was no easy task. Nadieieva found a good coach in Kyiv, but the only conventional track was built in 1973 and had never been renovated. As a result, she had to train on karting tracks. She began her career in the Ukrainian Superbike Championship in 2020, experiencing both a crash and a podium finish in her debut round. The following year, she finished second overall in the STK600 class (best woman). She then moved to Spain to compete in the Spanish Yamaha Cup, where she experienced both victories and setbacks.

The challenges she faced were numerous, extending beyond the limited resources in Ukraine. Nadieieva had to defy societal stereotypes in a country where motorcycling is still seen as a sport almost exclusively for men. Although she now has the support of her family, it wasn’t always that way: ‘My family initially took my hobby very badly. My mom cried a lot. It took me two years to prove to those around me that this is an interesting sport that requires a lot of work and professionalism. That women can be fast. That it is about discipline and willpower’.

Finding the right equipment, from suspension springs to a racing suit, has also been a challenge for the Ukrainian rider. Despite these obstacles, Nadieieva has worked her way to the top of women’s motorcycle racing and dreams of going even further. She also hopes to make an impact on motorcycling in Ukraine: ‘I want to show how beautiful this sport is. I hope that racing will develop in Ukraine, infrastructure will be built and many little boys and girls will be able to get a good training base to perform well in competition. Of course I’m very proud to represent Ukraine. People in Ukraine are very persistent, hard-working. We know how not to give up and go to the end. I will try to be worthy of my country’.
