Feuling Parts recently announced via a social media video that the team will field Spaniard Ruben Xaus in the 2024 MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Championship.
The 45-year-old Xaus is a former World Superbike and MotoGP racer and is coming out of retirement to race for the Harley-Davidson team. With his win in the German round of the World Superbike Championship in 2001, Ducati-mounted Xaus became the first Spaniard to win a World Superbike race.
In 2003, Xaus had his best season in the World Superbike Championship when he ended up second in the title chase behind his teammate Neil Hodgson, winning seven races and earning 15 podiums.
Xaus’ best season in MotoGP was in 2004 when he finished 11th in the championship with a podium finish in Qatar. He returned to the World Superbike Championship in 2006 and continued in the series through the 2011 season, riding for Ducati, BMW and Honda teams.
“Here we are in America, and we are ready to go for a big shot in the King Of The Baggers in 2024 with the Feuling team on a Harley,” Xaus said in the video.
