Rubén Ruzafa win XTERRA Italia Championship

The Castelli equipped and two-time XTERRA World Champion Ruben Ruzafa from Spain won his fifth XTERRA European Tour championship race on Saturday with another dominating performance, this time at the XTERRA Italy Championship in Scanno. Back in 2008 a then 29-year-old Ruzafa, hailing from Malaga, Spain, shocked the XTERRA planet when he won the World Championship in his first try. There’s no such surprise anymore.  Last year when he retired from world cup mountain biking (where he collected four national titles in cross country and marathon for Spain) to focus on XTERRA he won XTERRA Spain, was 2nd at France, won Germany, and was third at the USA Championship.  Since then he’s been perfect, winning Worlds in 2013, and Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, France, and Italy this year.  Six straight and 8-of-10 in the last 13 months. On Sunday, he took the victory in two hours and forty-five minutes, more than four minutes ahead of Braden Currie (who just won XTERRA Sweden) and five minutes ahead of four-time XTERRA World Champion and reigning/3x ITU Cross Triathlon World Champion Conrad “the Caveman” Stoltz.
