FREDRIK NOREN
Former privateer Fredrik Noren has put himself on the map in AMA Pro motocross after steadily improving his results since coming to America in 2011. The Swiss rider was a hobby racer/ weekend warrior for much of his life until he realized that he could make a career out of this so called “hobby”. Noren raced the Junior Swedish championship in 2009 as an amateur and ended up winning, he
decided to contest in the Swedish national championship in 2010 which he also won. It was Fredriks dream to race in America and not only did his dream come true but he also was able to score a fill in ride on one of the most predigest teams Muscle Milk Honda in 2014. After doing a spectacular job on factory equipment while filling in for Justin Barcia, Honda decided to continue their support with Fredrick and offered him a role on the team as a test rider. Noren helped test Hondas equipment while he rode for the Motosport Honda team, BUT if the factory team needed Fredrick he would be pulled from his factory backed team to race the full factory Honda 450 ride. We are now in 2016 and Noren has stayed faithful with Honda and is now riding for Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Team. Its been a while since we have seen the #43 inside the top 10 week in and week out but the east coast rounds are upon us and things could change in a hurry.
