HOLCOMBE On Top of the World!

As expected after the Grand Prix of France and this domination all season, this first day of the final round of 2018 saw Steve HOLCOMBE (GB - Beta) conquer both the E3 and EnduroGP titles, and Brad FREEMAN (GB - Beta Boano) win his first senior title, becoming the World E1 Champion. Let’s look back at this day full of emotion...

Steve HOLCOMBE only needed a handful of points to win his second consecutive title in EnduroGP... but instead of just doing what was necessary, he rode brilliantly, and the Factory Beta rider took his 5th win of the year after a good battle with Brad FREEMAN. Today was confirmation of his dominance and rise to power throughout a year which started with fractures to his ribs in Spain and ended in style; riding at a very high level in the last three GPs of the season. FREEMAN, anxious to finish the job in E1, kept his compatriot honest all day in the overall and lost out on the EGP win by just 5 seconds! Behind the two stars of this day, it was Eero REMES (SF - TM) who took the 16 points for 3rd place, 9 seconds ahead of Loïc LARRIEU (F - Yamaha). Alex SALVINI (I - Husqvarna) closed out the top 5 in front of the MCCANNEY brothers, Danny (GB - Gas Gas) and Jamie (GB - Yamaha). Special mention also for the local rider Christian BROCKEL (D - KTM) who finished 15th on this first day of the Maxxis German GP!

Steve HOLCOMBE : “I’m so relieved to win this second title! The year started so badly with my rib fracture, but after the GP of Trentino I refocused and I spent my summer preparing for the last three GPs... It worked perfectly and I am very proud to be crowned EGP World Champion for the second year in a row!”

Brad FREEMAN : “So many emotions ... so many emotions! It's just amazing... I can hardly speak! We did it... World E1 Champion! It sounds so good to say it! So many sacrifices all year but it's worth it!”

Here's a photo tribute to Steve Holcombe (not all from this year).
















Late edit for the poll: Some of you may think the chance of a podium at MXON is ridiculous. For those that forgot, a member of last year's (2017) winning French team at MXON and winning French ISDE team rode EnduroGP this year for Beta. Christophe Charlier did not have a good year, currently sitting 11th.
