SHELTON, Washington – July 1, 2026 – The Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. championship delivered another thrilling weekend of competition, with the series showcasing close racing, rider development, and determination in the face of changing weather conditions over an eventful weekend at the Ridge Motorsports Park.
Saturday’s opening race was one of the only races over the weekend held in mostly dry conditions, as Jasmine Noelle capitalized with a composed, race-winning performance. Bryanna Everitt made the most of her pole position to take an early lead, as Noelle remained firmly in contention, before making her move to secure the victory by 2.582 seconds. Everitt crossed the line in second, followed by Tati Paze in third, Tiffanie Vo in fourth, and Brianna Cutler rounded out the top five.
Although narrowly missing out on the podium, Cutler demonstrated impressive pace by recording the fastest lap of the race with a 2:17.216, underlining the competitiveness throughout the BTR field.
Sunday’s Race Two belonged to Tati Paze, who delivered a standout ride to earn the first Royal Enfield BTR victory of her career. The Brazilian steadily worked her way through the lead group before making a decisive pass on Everitt. Once at the front, Paze maintained her composure to hold off Noelle by 0.890 seconds and secure a memorable first victory.
This time Cutler’s pace was rewarded as she completed the podium in third, with Everitt finishing fourth and Vo rounding out the top five. Sany Max, Karina Simões, and Juliana Bernardes also took the checkered flag, while Marie Madura and Emily Dickson were unable to start Sunday’s race, but look forward to joining the grid again for the season finale.
With a victory and a runner-up finish, Noelle strengthened her grip on the Royal Enfield BTR championship standings, extending her advantage to 27 points heading into the season finale at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on July 31 – August 2, while second and third place is still hotly-contested, as just 16 points separate Tati Paze in second, Bryanna Everitt in third, and Brianna Cutler in fourth place.
As the series prepares for its final round, the championship remains a showcase of Royal Enfield’s commitment to developing the next generation of road racing talent through the unique BTR program.
Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield said: “Weekends like this highlight everything the Build.Train.Race program is about. Changing track conditions, growing racecraft, and some really close racing. Congratulations not only to our podium finishers, but to every rider in the field for dealing with ever-changing weather and last-minute tire calls with such professionalism.
