Former World Championship racer Ruben Xaus is coming out of retirement to compete in the 2024 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship.

“Here we are in America, and we’re ready to go for King Of The Baggers 2024 with Feuling team on a Harley. See you there,” 45-year-old Xaus said in a video released on social media by his new team Feuling Parts.

In 2001, Xaus became the first Spaniard to win a Superbike World Championship race with his victory on a factory Ducati at Oschersleben.

In 2004, he rode a Ducati satellite machine to third place in the MotoGP race in Qatar.

Xaus last raced full-time in the Superbike World Championship in 2011. Since then, he has managed race teams and pursued business interests outside of racing.

In November 2023, Xaus rode a Feuling Parts Harley-Davidson to second place in a Bagger Racing League (BRL) Bagger GP race at Willow Springs International Raceway.
