EnduroGP 2017<br />

ENDURO JUNIOR<br />

BRAD FREEMAN<br />

(GBR – Beta)<br />

In the aforementioned 2014 article I<br />

pitted Garcia against none other than<br />

2017 EJ champion, Brad Freeman.<br />

Indeed, Freeman has also showed<br />

potential from a young age and<br />

appeared to have a natural talent<br />

for the sport. Despite opportunities<br />

to join the world championship as<br />

early as the 2015 season, he opted<br />

to stay in the British and European<br />

championships before attacking the<br />

world stage.<br />

In the past, fragility held the young<br />

Brit back and he was often injured.<br />

Even this year, a nasty injury ruled<br />

him out of the season opener, but<br />

that wasn’t going to stop him from<br />

snatching the title at the final round.<br />

Freeman’s comeback earned him<br />

a lot of new fans and impressed<br />

many people including his team<br />

manager, Jarno Boano, who previously<br />

managed fellow Brits Steve Holcombe<br />

and Danny McCanney. 2017 clicked<br />

for Freeman and the frighteningly-fast<br />

21 year old excelled on every terrain,<br />

keeping a level head and giving British<br />

fans yet another reason to cheer!<br />

EJ is probably the hardest class<br />

in the entire series with the world’s<br />

brightest young stars often separated<br />

by fractions of seconds; to be<br />

champion in the Junior class is to<br />

prove emphatically that you have the<br />

potential to go on to yet more great<br />

things.<br />
