Remaining aboard two-stroke machinery for another year, Holcombe will contest the upcoming Enduro World Championship on the updated for 2018 Beta RR 300 Racing model. Making the most of the experience gained during a successful first participation in the PÌ_ijÌ_nne Finnish GP a year ago, Steve is looking forward to what‰Ûªs expected to be a hugely challenging season opener in real winter conditions.
"I'm really excited to be getting the 2018 EnduroGP World Championship started," Holcombe enthused. "It‰Ûªs been a long off-season, a very productive off-season, so it‰Ûªs good to be getting back to racing again.
"2017 was an incredible year for me. Winning the EnduroGP title, my second world title, took a lot of work, but it was a great championship and a great result. Being back in the Enduro3 class takes me to where I was in 2016, which I‰Ûªm looking forward to, and having a new team-mate freshens things up within the Beta camp.
"The first round of the series is going to be really challenging ‰ÛÒ a real winter race. Conditions in Finland are completely different to 12 months ago and having spent some time there training recently I know just how hard this weekend‰Ûªs championship opener is going to be. But I‰Ûªm looking forward to it. I feel good and ready to start the new series.‰Û
