Brazilian mountain biking championships 2026

In late July 2026, Brazil hosted several high‑profile mountain bike events that showcased the country’s growing talent across multiple disciplines. On 27 July, the downhill championship in Paraíba do Sul saw Roger Vieira rebound from a weak qualifying run to set a new course record and claim his second elite downhill title, ahead of Leonardo Becher. The event highlighted the depth of the regional downhill scene, with the Associação Downhill do Vinho (ADHV) earning podium places in several age categories.

Two days later, the national mountain bike championships in São José dos Campos produced further standout performances. Raiza Goulão dominated both the Short Track (XCC) and Olympic Cross‑Country (XCO) elite races, securing her third XCC crown and seventh XCO title. In a separate stage race, Alexandre dos Reis (“XTR”) overcame mechanical setbacks to finish 15th overall in the Sertão Diamante four‑day competition, positioning himself for upcoming events on the Asca Bikers circuit. Together, these results illustrate a busy competitive window for Brazilian MTB athletes and underline the sport’s expanding profile within the nation.
