FMF KTM Factory Racing rider Johnny Girroir has extended his advantage in the 2024 U.S. Sprint Enduro Series at CJ Raceway in Newburg, West Virginia, continuing his perfect season across the first six rounds. The weekend also saw FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' Gus Riordan and Brandy Richards earn their class victories.
Defending Sprint Enduro Champion Girroir has been dominant on his KTM 350 XC-F this season, topping both days in commanding fashion once again despite a scare in the early stages of Saturday. He gained strength on Sunday and managed to make it six in a row, with just two rounds remaining this year.

Johnny Girroir: "On Saturday I had a pretty high-speed crash in the second cross test and that kind of scared me or shocked me a little bit. I wasn’t riding that great in the beginning anyway, but I picked it back up in the end and it was a day. Today went smoother, kept her off the ground, found some good speed in the cross test, and had a good last enduro test, so it worked out good."

FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers standout Riordan was the class of the Pro 2 field to lead the way on both days riding his KTM 250 XC-F, establishing an advantage on Saturday and then managing it on Sunday. The reigning champion now holds a 45-point lead in the series following six of eight rounds.

Angus Riordan: "The weekend went well I managed to win the Pro 2 yesterday by about 25 seconds and then today I just maintained. I was up by just a second, so I knew I had to pull something out and I was able to get [Jason] Tino by a few seconds, so I won both days and the overall."

Richards was consistently strong in Pro Women this weekend to comfortably bring her KTM 250 XC-F with the class victory, unbeaten to date in the U.S. Sprint Enduro Series in 2024 and she has a lead of 68 points in the championship with two races to go.

Brandy Richards: "It was a pretty good weekend. Yesterday was a little bit slippery, but then it dried out. Today was super dusty and super slick and I just made a few mistakes here and there, but overall I had a good time."
