Four-time EnduroGP world champion Steve Holcombe will join Sherco Factory Racing for this season. Holcombe will compete in the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, the Italian Enduro Championship, the ISDE, and the classic Trèfle Lozérien, riding a Sherco SE 300.
Regarded as one of the most accomplished riders in the sport, Holcombe is aiming to put recent injuries behind him and return to the top of world enduro. He says his switch to Sherco reflects his ambition to contend for another title aboard two-stroke machinery in the Enduro3 category.
Preparations are underway for the seven-round EnduroGP calendar, which opens in Italy and continues through Spain, Finland, Portugal (double-header), France, and Wales.
Commenting on the new partnership, Holcombe said: “This new project is a big motivator for me – new people, a new bike, and a new challenge. The SE 300 is a bike I’m really excited about, and I’m looking forward to working closely with the team so we can start the season strong.”
