said. "It's a reward for all the hard
work with my great team. Now,
all we have to do is finish the job
in two weeks in France."
Holcombe still has a shot at the
EnduroGP title but admits beating
Freeman outright will be difficult.
"I can only congratulate Brad
for his victory, he is really the
strongest right now," Holcombe
said. "I have to admit I'm not able
to fight him like I want to. But we
must never give up, so I will do
my best to beat him in France.
But my main focus now is getting
the E3 title." Holcombe will have
to fight off McCanney to make
that happen.
Freeman celebrated not only
his overall win in the Czech
Republic but also the E1-class
Championship. It's the second
time of his career that he has
won the E1-class title. As nice as
that is, however, it's his first pre-
mier EnduroGP Championship
that he really wants.
McCanney maintained his con-
sistency on Sunday and, once
again, finished out the day on the
third step of the podium.
In E2, Joe Wootton (Husqvarna)
took his first win ever on Saturday,
finishing ahead of class champion-
ship contenders Loic Larrieu (TM)
and Alex Salvini (Honda).
Salvini came back and won
day two in front of Larrieu and
Giacomo Redondi (Husqvarna).
Just two points separate Sal-
vini from Larrieu going into the
final round in France.
In other news, David Knight
kept his perfect win streak alive
in the Senior class. If he wins
both days in France, it will be a
clean sweep for the former world
champion. CN
