Victory for reigning U.S. Hard Enduro Series number one Trystan Hart saw him take over the points lead in the 2024 series following the Donner Hard Enduro, while in the Grassman National Enduro, Johnny Girroir continued his ongoing podium form in the NE Pro1 ranks.
U.S. HARD ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 6

The AMA U.S. Hard Enduro Series resumed at the Donner Hard Enduro in Norden, California, where FMF KTM Factory Racing's defending champion Trystan Hart picked up right where he left off in winning his third race of 2024 and taking charge of the points lead.

After qualifying second in the Prologue, Hart was at his exceptional best onboard the KTM 300 XC-W in rocky, dry conditions when it counted, getting out front early and controlling the race from there.

In the end, it was a comfortable victory and an important result for Hart at the Donner Ski Ranch, the Canadian in search of his fourth-career Hard Enduro crown.

Trystan Hart: "It was a good day at Donner today. Cody [Webb] was riding really good in the Prologue, so I was a little stressed out, and then I got a good start and was able to take the holeshot. He made a really aggressive pass on me, but I picked it up a bit and was able to gap him after he made a mistake – I never saw anyone again after the first lap when I had a pretty big lead. It was good to get the win here at the penultimate round and we'll look to carry this into the next one."

Pro Class Results:
1. Trystan Hart, FMF KTM Factory Racing
2. Ryder LeBlond, Husqvarna
3. Will Riordan, GASGAS



NATIONAL ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 7

Round 7 of the 2024 AMA National Enduro Series marked a return to the podium for Johnny Girroir, finishing second overall on his KTM 350 XC-F, at the Grassman National Enduro.

Girroir was on-pace from the outset in Chandlersville, Ohio, winning the opening test and then consistently factoring inside the top three from there to claim his fourth National Enduro NE Pro1 Class podium of the season.

Johnny Girroir: "Today was a good day at the Grassman National Enduro, finishing P2 on the day, and we took a lot from that one. Started strong and held our pace from there, so it's good to come out of this one on the podium again."

FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers rider Grant Davis endured his toughest round of the season to date, credited 13th on the charts after crashing on the fourth test. It ended his perfect podium streak in NE Pro2 riding the KTM 250 XC-F, with three rounds remaining in the 2024 season.

NE Pro1 Class Results:
1. Josh Toth, GASGAS
2. Johnny Girroir, FMF KTM Factory Racing
3. Trevor Bollinger, Husqvarna

NE Pro2 Class Results:
1. Nathaniel Tasha, Yamaha
2. Hunter Smith, KTM
