JULIEN BEAUMER | GRIT-230 | 250MX
The rookie on team KTM would burst from the start straightaway in practice as the referee cued the athletes to move forward, believing that his machine could propel him to the top of the leaderboard if he had a clear track at his disposal. Julien then competed amongst the overall top-twenty for timing and scoring for quite sometime, where the number 929 blasted through piles of mud that were cast across the inside(s) of the raceway - unafraid to make new lines, as he competed amongst the best professionals in all of the world! His speed would be notable, and eventually secured sixteenthbefore partaking in moto-one. The Arizonan accelerated from the metal grate with as much intensity as possible, waiting until the final second(s) before applying the brakes and diving into the opening corner. Amid the laps that followed, the field would begin to situate amongst their respective positions around the Maryland raceway, where Beaumer could be seen launching the step-up just after the mechanic's area with a distinct maneuvering of the motorcycle throughout the air. Every downside on the course would be landed upon with a perfect trajectory; and through the subtle components of piecing together the layout, would he secure a position just outside of the top-ten...and as the red-flag was eventually thrown, the number thirty-four would ultimately reside in tenth; however upon a full restart, the field would have to sprint through a remaining fifteen-minute (plus) contest, where Julien's' sense of speed (and staying power) would have to be recognized! He had then established himself in fifth for a good portion of the latter segment, where he battled amongst numerous world-renowned competitors and riders of podium caliber. Hanging with fellow rookie, Daxton Bennick, Beaumer would use every bit of racetrack in order to defend while acquiring as much knowledge as possible. This would lead to an eventual eleventh-place score being secured, prior to beginning the second portion of action. For the second edition of competition, Beaumer would immediately engage in a battle with Josh Varize while ricocheting from berm to berm; with numerous outside walls being made by both, dozer track(s) and various wheel sets throughout the day. Beaumer was carrying his speed extremely well, using his smooth-flowing style to display efficiency while battling with Daxton Bennick. He would keep Bennick at bay for a tremendous amount of time, proving that he withstand the charge of his former "A Class" rival...and that narrative would be portrayed throughout the seventeen-lap contest. His portrayal of momentum also kept a hard-charging Levi Kitchen behind him in the final moments; which was an incredible feat, given the momentum that the Washington native had continuously earned! And as all was said and done in the Northeast, Beaumer's final moto-score of ninth would eventually equate to a superb standing of ninth (overall) in the record book!
