Tiago Ferreira has won almost everything in XCM, he has been World Champion, European Champion and has won in the best races of the modality, just a few months ago he took the victory of the Brasil Ride ahead of Henrique Avancini.

Looking ahead to 2024, he will make a radical change to his sports career. He will compete for Vouzela BH, his own team, in a calendar designed to his measure and in which gravel will have a great importance.

This is how Tiago Ferreira explained this new project:

“In June I started talking to some teams, but I came to the conclusion that it was not what I wanted. The possibility of creating an individual team arose and I saw the opportunity to do it. I think it's the best thing at this moment”

“I came to BH through a friend and it was very easy to close a deal. I quickly knew that I was going to compete with BH.”

“It's going to be a different season than what I've done so far. I will do more gravel and I will not only focus on results, I also seek to be an image and face some record as I did in the past. I will do 3 or 4 races in America, MTB and gravel. It will be something different. I also keep the goal of doing my best in the European and the World Championship. But, above all, I want to do well in gravel. I think I can do well in that modality.”

 “It has been like changing worlds. I have always had problems in technical descents and after a few weeks training with the BH Lynx Race they have now disappeared. It's a huge quality leap. I'm sure it's going to make a big difference.” The new BH GravelX is also in his hands. “I was surprised that I can have stiffness and comfort at the same time. Something that is not easy to achieve. And with the BH GravelX I have it. It's a super competitive bike, ideal for what I want to do.”

“I will compete where I want. I will do the races that I like and the calendar that I prefer. I am motivated with my project and with the brands that support me. I am very motivated for this 2024.”

The municipality of Vouzela will be, along with BH, one of the main sponsors. Located in the center of Portugal, Vouzela has been betting on outdoor sports and especially on MTB for many years, with countless marked itineraries to enjoy the best routes.

In addition, Ferreira will continue to have the support of Red Bull and the project will also be joined by brands such as Sram, RockShox, Zipp and Time that will equip the BH GravelX and BH Lynx Race of the Portuguese for 2024.
