NATIONAL NO.1 AMATEUR - 2020: COLE FREDERICK
Cole is a 3-time World Champion, and previous NAG #1 title holder.
Frederick is from New Ulm, Minnesota and rides for Factory Full Tilt/Radio.
For the season, Cole's Grands win was his 28th win of the year; out of 38 mains.
To win the 2020 No.1 Am title, Cole came into The Grands in the No.6 spot. His Full Tilt teammate - in the same age class, Sean Day, was sitting atop the Amateur point standings and was the favorite coming into this race.
In the 13x main, Cole (the "Bacon Boy") was coming out of lane 2, with Sean Day right next to his left elbow, in lane 3. Cole got a great first snap, but Day had more power in his second and third cranks and by the first jump, had moved over just a bit to shut down his Full Tilt team mate. But Cole doesn't give up that easy and was hot on the tail of El' Suave. Amazingly, Cole was able to keep things close and halfway through the third-straight rhythm section, made the decision to move over right, setting himself up to take a last-chance swoop into the final turn. While Sean Day opted for a wide line in to the last turn, Cole saw the door cracked open - and took his shot. It was a clean, text-book move that he'd likely been taught (over 'n over) at Burlin Harris' Supercamp. Cole made the pass and then finished it off perfectly by taking Sean's line out of the last turn. Day was charging hard and there was just enough of a "love-tap" from Cole to send him toward the white line and into the soft stuff. Day's day ended right there, as he crashed right before the last jump and Cole Frederick flew in for the win and the much-coveted 2020 National No.1 Amateur title.
Former No.1 Amateur (from 1986) Eric Carter, summed it up well afterwards on social media: “Watch the video and you’ll see that Cole cuts shorter lines on his turn exits and pedals in spots he shouldn’t be able to." That was an amazing race for the No.1 title ... as it always is.
