Kelan Grant
In episode number Twenty Two we are talking to Kelan Grant about winning the Redbull Foxhunt, what that has done for his racing career, his new CRC Mavic signing and racing on the same team as EWS World Champ Sam Hill.
This has been a massive twelve months for Kelan. Over the year he has won many races including the Redbull Foxhunt, his qualifying Megavalanche heat, he is the Irish National Enduro Champion and has got a new signing to the CRC Mavic Team that will see him partner up with current 2017 EWS World Champion, Sam Hill. It was awesome to get Kelan on the podcast, we chat about everything from how he got started to overcoming injuries to his up coming year with a new race team. It is an exciting time for this young man from Omagh.

It is always great to talk with someone like Kelan. He always seems to be having fun, enjoying himself and never takes himself to serious. But Kelan is a serious rider and competitor, you don’t achieve what Kelan has without being dedicated, disciplined, motivated and determined. Kelan has them all and many more. If you follow Kelan on any of his social media platforms (see below for links) you will know he is either on a bike, in the jump park, in the gym or posting himself doing all of the above. There is no doubt Kelan is in love with what he does.
Kelan has an exciting and tough road ahead, but in my option, he is worth a good bet. Kelan is a young, talented and switched on ripper. He has worked hard to get where he is today and deserves everything that he has achieved. It was great to have him on the show. It was actually something we had been trying to organise for quite some time. Kelan had phone issues, Christmas got in the way, there was always something getting in our way. However it worked out for the best, as since that time Kelan has received his new sponsorship deal and that is what we all want to know about. So happy days.
Sit back and listen to Kelan’s story of mountain biking, winning and racing with Sam Hill.
