Defending National Hare & Hound Champion Dante Oliveira led a winning weekend for the FMF KTM Factory Racing Team, claiming the Cherry Creek National Pro Class victory to remain unbeaten in 2026. In addition, Jason Tino secured the NE Pro2 Class win at Round 3 of the American National Enduro Championship (ANEC) in Mississippi.
NATIONAL HARE & HOUND SERIES – ROUND 4

Equipped with the KTM 450 XC-F, Oliveira entered the Cherry Creek National Hare & Hound with momentum after taking victory in the opening three rounds, aiming to make it four in a row in Jericho, Utah.

The 26-year-old was once again the benchmark at Round 4, navigating the sandy, whooped-out terrain to take the lead on the opening lap. From there, he controlled the race to deliver victory in a total time of 2:48.01.

Oliveira remains perfect through four rounds in season 2026, holding a comfortable 20-point advantage with three rounds remaining in the National Hare & Hound series

Dante Oliveira: “I got a decent start here and the wind made it pretty choppy for the first couple miles, but after that it got a lot better. I put the hammer down and made a couple of important passes to enter P2, and then capitalized on the leader having some issues to move into first. From that point, I chilled out to make sure I had energy for the second half of the race, and it worked out well! It was a super-fun day today, and the bike worked really well all day – I'm stoked with the result.”

AMERICAN NATIONAL ENDURO CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 3

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Jason Tino delivered a standout performance at the Farm 14 National Enduro, claiming five of the seven tests in the NE Pro2 Class to secure the overall victory onboard his KTM 250 XC-F.

Despite facing some early adversity, Tino gained comfort as the day wore on to take a convincing win in class, and he remains well in the title fight after three rounds. Round 4 will be taking place in Georgia next month.

Jason Tino: “It was a really great day out here in Mississippi, the dirt was better than you could even imagine – there was so much traction! The ANEC put on a really good event and my bike handled amazingly this weekend, which allowed us to put together a win at Round 3!”

For teammate Ben Kelley, the KTM 450 XC-F-mounted rider finished eighth in the NE1 Pro Class at Round 3, building confidence as the weekend progressed. He will look to build momentum entering the Cherokee National Enduro on May 23-24.

Ben Kelley: “Today was a hard day for me – I couldn’t find comfort out there. We tried some things and got a bit better as the day went on, but I was still off the pace, unfortunately. We’ll build into the next round!”

U.S. SPRINT ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 4

Also in action over the weekend were FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Grant Davis and Brandy Richards, who lined up for Round 4 of the U.S. Sprint Enduro Series at Olde Mill Farm in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.

Davis was in contention for the overall victory from the outset on board his KTM 450 XC-F, battling at the front across all 12 tests before finishing second overall with a total time of 1:29.06, just two seconds shy of the win.

Grant Davis: “Round 4 was sick! I’m happy with how I progressed from the last Sprint round to this one on the 450, and we were only a couple of seconds off the win.”

Piloting the KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION, Richards was the benchmark in the Pro Women’s division, securing a convincing victory following the 12 tests contested and extending her championship lead as a result.

Brandy Richards: "I had a great weekend at the Sprint Enduro. I was feeling really good and comfortable on my KTM 350 XC-F and was able to win 10 of the 12 tests. I'm looking forward to the next few rounds!"

Round 5 of the U.S. Sprint Enduro Series takes place at the High Voltage event on April 25-26.
