Speaking to Lusa news agency, the president of the Góis Motorcycle Club, Nuno Bandeira, revealed that this year's edition includes the 1st Sidecar Meeting, which joins the 19th Vespa Ride, the 25th Mini-Trail Meeting, and the third edition of the Women's Meeting.

"Two years ago, we sold out, and this year we hope to sell out as well," emphasised the director, who expects around 15,000 motorcycles to pass through the small city of Góis, home to a municipality with just over 3,800 inhabitants.

With a budget of 700,000 euros, the Góis biker rally, one of the largest in the country, once again occupies a 17-hectare area on the banks of the Ceira River, a tributary of the Mondego River, where several river beaches are located.

"For over three decades, the rally has been an essential meeting point for the biker community and for all who share this spirit of sharing. We are working to ensure that this edition will once again be a source of pride for Góis and the country," stated Nuno Bandeira.
