Freeman Stellar In Czech World Enduro
B
eta's Brad Freeman of Great
Britain dominated the penul-
timate round of the two-day 2019
FIM Maxxis Enduro World Cham-
pionship in the Czech Republic,
September 14-15, and planted
himself in an excellent position to
win the 2019 championship in the
premier EnduroGP division.
Freeman topped both days
of competition, which meant he
stayed in front of his nearest rival,
Beta teammate Steve Holcombe,
who took second both days.
Freeman was especially on his
game Saturday. He set the best
time in seven of the day's tests!
The young Brit did not make any
mistakes, and always featured at
the top of the timesheets.
"I'm just delighted with how
my day went," Freeman said. "I
was able to dominate. After my
injury in Greece and my broken
collarbone, I had only one idea
in mind to keep myself focused
and to get the operation and
recovery done as soon as pos-
sible; that idea is the title and
the day victories. It seems that
everything is going well so far. It's
been a dream since I was little to
become World Champion, and I'll
always go after that."
Holcombe has been dealing
with his own health issues, mainly
an illness that saps his energy,
but he's on the rebound.
"I'm just happy to finish today
without being in the state I was
in Greece and Italy, where my
illness made me suffer so much,"
