Penalty takes away the victory to Helder Rodrigues

Nelson Caxias, on a Can-Am, was the big winner in the SSV competition at Baja TT Montes Alentejanos, after several pilots had passed through the leadership in this, the opening race of the 2022 Cross-Country National Championship. Nelson Caxias, who had been the fastest on the first day of the race, saw the former world champion Helder Rodrigues and the Belgian Sebastian Guyette finish ahead of him, but penalties took them out of those positions.

"The balance I make of this race is very positive. We are in the beginning of the Championship and I'm still not at 100%, but when the results appear it's obvious that we are happy. Despite everything, I had the feeling that I could do better. We needed to fine-tune a few details that always count for those who are in the front row. However, I leave this race very satisfied" said Nelson Caxias at the end of the Baja TT Montes Alentejanos.

Second place for João Monteiro who, accompanied by Nuno Morais, finished 52,8s from the Caxiauto driver. Despite the 2 minutes penalty, the last podium position belonged to the Belgian Sebastien Guyette.

In a Top 10 entirely dominated by Can-Am cars, Pedro Santinho Mendes and the national champion duo Roberto Borrego/Nuno Abrantes (Can-Am) occupied the next positions.
