Welcome back to another episode of “Five Minutes with Fletch”! In this latest instalment, we continue on the triumph theme from our last episode, which featured the G.O.A.T. This time, the talented Mikkel Haarup from the Monster Energy Triumph Racing Team joins me.
Mikkel has just wrapped up his 2024 season on the Triumph TF 250-X, finishing an impressive fifth overall in the MX2 class at MXGP, complete with two podium finishes! In this episode, we discuss everything from MXoN and A final dreams to the experience of being part of a new team and adapting to a new bike in 2024.
We delve into his training tactics, what it takes to stay sharp throughout the season, how his schoolboy racing days shaped his journey, the joys of family life on the road and the unique experience of living the camper lifestyle during race weekends.
Special thanks to Mikkel Haarup for the interview.
