AMERICAN NATIONAL ENDURO CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 1

Equipped with the KTM 250 XC-F, Tino delivered a convincing performance across the six tests contested at the Sumter National Enduro, maintaining second position in class from the outset despite a crash in test four.

Aside from that late mishap, the 22-year-old demonstrated consistency in his first outing of the year with the FMF KTM Factory Racing team.

Tino finished just over a minute from the NE Pro2 Class victory, collecting a valuable haul of points to open the National Enduro Championship, with Round 2 set to take place at Cross Timbers in Oklahoma between March 21-22.

Jason Tino: “The first round went pretty well and I was happy with my consistency. The bike worked great, so a big thanks to the team for getting me dialed in and all the support. My tests were good – I just focused on staying smooth and hitting my marks while moving forward, and it turned out well aside from my crash in the fourth test. Eyes are on Round 2 now!”

FMF KTM Factory Racing teammate Ben Kelley opened his 2026 ANEC campaign with a measured performance, rebounding from a collision with another rider during the opening test. The NE1 Pro contender steadily recovered from that early setback to claim seventh position in class aboard his KTM 450 XC-F.

Ben Kelley:I had a good day going at Round 1 in Sumter – I had a nice flow and felt like my roll speed was solid all day. I had that little incident with another rider in the first test, although other than that, it was decent. Obviously, a few little mistakes here and there, but overall, everything felt pretty good and we just posted what was a steady day to start the season.”
