Beta rider Brad Freeman is crowned 2024 FIM Enduro World Champion in the E3 class in France on the weekend!
The picturesque setting of Brioude, France, hosted the seventh and final round of the 2024 FIM Enduro World Championship on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September. The highly technical and demanding race tested the riders on an authentic French enduro track, with a total length of 75km, which kicked off on Friday with the standard Super Test. After the conclusion of the race, Beta’s Brad Freeman was crown 2024 E3 Champ.
The track consisted of three different tests, which had to be repeated three times: a Cross Test, 5.4 km long, held in fields and undergrowth; an Enduro Test, 6.8 km long, characterised by soft and muddy ground, made especially difficult by roots; and a 1.8 km Extreme Test, mostly natural but with some artificial sections.
On Saturday, Brad Freeman took the Title of World Champion in the E3 Class for the 10th time. The British rider succeeded in the feat, despite a zero at the first GP of the season in Portugal. Over the weekend, Brad ruled the E3 class, winning both days of racing, and also performed well in the EnduroGP class, where he finished with a good 4th position on Saturday and an excellent 1st position on Sunday.
An unlucky weekend for Nathan Watson who, due to a mistake in the Super Test and a crash on the last special stage on Saturday, received two zeros in the standings. Nevertheless, Nathan finished the Championship with a good 3rd position in the E2 Class.
