Bruno Santos continues to have an excellent season. This weekend, the rider from Torres Vedras added another podium to those he has already won this year. The Momento TT-supported rider came second in the TT3 class and also took third place overall in the XXXVI Raid Ferraria. These results reinforce the rider's positions in both the National Cross-Country Championship and the class.
There were 312 timed kilometers on tracks in the municipalities of Abrantes, Ponte de Sor and Gavião that Bruno Santos, at the controls of a Husqvarna FE 501, covered in 3h59m51s5'.
The rider was fourth fastest in the prologue on Friday. On Saturday, he finished the first stage in third place, the position in which he ended the race after the second pass through the 153 km selective sector.
Bruno Santos is satisfied with the result and believes that he fulfilled his objective: “It was a good race, very interesting, very nice, very fast. The route pleased me a lot, with two passes over the same section. The track was quite degraded for Sunday, so a bit of caution was needed, but I'm satisfied. In three days' time I'll be in Badajoz for the Baja de Extremadura. It was important to get out of the Ferraria race without any problems so that I could be ready for the next competition. I want to attack the upcoming race well and get a good result there. I got a podium, I collected more points, I wanted a bit more, but I achieved my goal. The competition is very strong. I feel that in this third place I'm in a comfortable position, I can be in this position without risking it and finish safely, which is very important if I don't want to contract injuries that could jeopardize other races,” said the driver.
Bruno Santos continues his competitions later this week, taking part in the Baja TT Dehesa Extremadura from May 2 to 4, a competition that qualifies for the FIM Baja World Cup.
