Despite missing the first round of the series through injury, Fredriksen has had multiple podium finishes and now sits an impressive fourth in the championship.

Rumours suggest that Fredriksen could be about to go green in the 2021 season with the BUD Kawasaki Racing team interested in his signing. MXMag.be have reported the news and we also heard from a reliable source that it’s a real option for Fredriksen.

The BUD Racing team currently have Pierre Goupillon and Lorenzo Locurcio contesting the EMX250 series with Locurcio aging out of the class at the end of the season.
