STEVE HOLCOMBE, UK SEVEN (7) TIME WORLD CHAMPION, READY FOR GOTLAND GRAND NATIONAL!

The world’s largest enduro competition: Gotland Grand National- is running for the 40th time in a row. Has completed a world-known name for this year’s competition through its partner, BETA Scandinavia

– That Steve Holcombe, UK and rider for the BETA Factory Team, is coming to Gotland, and GGN is big. He is seven (7) times world champion and two (2) times Italian champion. Right now also leading the WC series this year. He can win the whole GGN even if the Swedish participants like Micke Persson and Albin Elowson are always at the front near the finish line, says Conny Bohlin from the organizer Nordic Sport & Event.

Henrik Lindqvist from GGN partner Beta Scandinavia says the following:

– Our CEO Christer Granquist has been discussing with Steve & Beta Factory Racing for several years to get a start for Steve at GGN. Going to Gotland with Steve to chase the GGN title feels great. With 7 – WC titles in the bag and right now leader of the Enduro GP, the aim is, of course, set on victory. However, Steve is humble about the competition and is aware of race resistance. Steve will be under the Beta Scandinavia tent with several of our other Beta Scandinavia NTEK Racing riders throughout the weekend. You will find us as last year, in the middle of the exhibition street.

The Gotland Grand National has also increased the prize money for the best men and women, and for GGN 2023, the best woman and man will take home SEK 75,000 each. The second place receives SEK 35,000 and the third SEK 15,000 each.

Gotland Grand National is the world’s largest enduro competition, with over 3000 starters from approx. Seventeen different nations every year. 2023 the competition will be held on 26 – 28 October at the Tofta shooting range on Gotland.
