Baja TT Sharish 2022: João Monteiro/Nuno Morais (Can-Am) triumphs in SSV at Baja TT Sharish Gin

    Portuguese Championship - CNTT - Moto, Quad and SSV   

The duo João Monteiro/Nuno Morais, in Can-Am, triumphed in the SSV competition at the 34th edition of Baja TT Sharish Gin Reguengos Mourão, sixth round of the National Cross-Country Championship 2022 after an extremely close duel with Pedro Mendes, also in Can-Am, who was first in the last selective sector and who finished the race at 40.7s from the race winner.

"Yesterday we gained some advantage. We knew we had to manage today because this is a very tough race. Today we went in cautiously, looked at the times and it turned out not to be that difficult. Towards the end it's all very fast and we are always a bit afraid of the belts of the cars. As we couldn't win the stage, we eased up a bit because we wanted the victory", said the winner, Team Sharish Gin/South Racing's driver, at the end of the race.

The 175 km section that was disputed today saw Gonçalo Guerreiro being the 3rd fastest and finishing in the last place of the podium in the general classification of the Alentejo's race, ahead of Roberto Borrego/Nuno Abrantes, who, in SS2, was only 7.1s behind Pedro Santinho Mendes.

Gonçalo Guerreiro in 3rd, Marco Pereira in 5th and the duo Rui Serpa/Nuno Guilherme in 14th won respectively among the Juniors, Veterans and Stock Class.

Duarte and Nuno Silva won in the TT2 Category and also in the Yamaha Cup, while Dorothee Ferreira won in the Ladies. In the Bajas European Cup, André Rodrigues/Ricardo Porto Nunes won.
