OLDTOWN, Md. – FMF KTM Factory Racing's Johnny Girroir has clinched the 2023 AMA U.S. Sprint Enduro Series title with two rounds to spare after winning the Pro 1 Class at the weekend's Promised Land MX U.S. Sprint Enduro, marking round six of the season.
In his first year with the FMF KTM Factory Racing Team, former Pro 2 champion Girroir has delivered an exceptional season to date across the opening six rounds, placing him in a position to secure the Pro 1 championship in Oldtown and that's exactly what he did onboard his KTM 350 XC-F.

Rain in the lead-up to the Maryland round made for slick conditions through much of day one, however, the weather remained clear over the course of Saturday. Rain overnight made for tougher, muddy conditions on Sunday, and with Girroir the first rider on the course both days, that was a challenge of its own.

Test times were extremely close all day on Saturday, with Girroir leading the way in Pro 1 and sitting a close fourth overall to seal the championship in the process, before day two saw Girroir earn his sixth Pro 1 round victory in a row and climb to second overall for the weekend.

Johnny Girroir: "Overall, it was a good weekend and I'm really happy to win the title with two rounds to spare. We will enjoy this one and I'd like to thank the whole FMF KTM Factory Racing Team, our supporters, and everybody who got us to this point of winning the championship. It's been a really good U.S. Sprint Enduro Series so far, so I'm looking forward to the next two!"
