Breaking barriers in the premier class of Grand Prix racing 🏍️💨

Meet Gina Bovaird, the trailblazing American rider who remains the only woman to ever compete in the 500cc World Championship (the predecessor to modern motogp)! 🏁 

Lining up on the grid at the 1982 French Grand Prix on a privateer Yamaha TZ500, Gina took on one of the most unforgiving and physically demanding eras of motorcycle racing 🏍️

Competing without major factory backing, she earned her spot among the best riders in the world through pure grit, raw talent, and determination 💪
