Xassos Urban Cup – Growing Further In Stature

Xassos Urban Cup – Growing Further In Stature

The unique Xassos Urban Cup meeting, held on the bumpy ultra challenging roads of Fontes in Portugal, is growing further in stature, illustrated by the strong entry/turn out of fans to this years event.

Marking ten years of real roads action, late last month saw Vitor Sabino/Luis Godinho secure Pro category victory, plus overall race honours.

The CPV Racing duo, chalked up 80 laps on their way to victory, whilst the standard Xassos category, was scooped by Macal M83 mounted Joao Ferreira, who held off tenacious challenges from David Martins/Emanuel Nobrega, Telmo Martins and Antonio Guedes.

Luis Leitao/Alvaro Vale, veteran class winners, also finished a very respectable 11th overall out of the 46 finishers, in the 2017 running of the event dubbed as ‘The Craziest Race In The World’.

Maintaining Portugal’s famous pure road racing heritage, the Xassos Urban Cup similar in nature to the likes of Motovelocidad Del Valle in Colombia and La Baneza in Spain, is now in my opinion established amongst continental Europe’s most popular roads meetings.
