Round 9 - AMA National Enduro Series
SAND SPRINGS, Okla. – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Josh Toth led the charge at Sunday’s Zink Ranch AMA National Enduro, topping the overall podium by 12.6 seconds at the penultimate round of the series. In the Women’s Elite division, KTM-Supported rider Mackenzie Tricker clinched the title one round early after claiming her third win of the season in Oklahoma.
 
In the NE Pro1 class, Toth rode his KTM 350 XC-F to top-two finishes in all six tests in a tight head-to-head battle for the overall win. Coming away with two sizable test-wins in sections three and four, Toth was able to pad his lead enough to secure the overall win for the second-straight round.
 
Josh Toth: “I started off a little cautious in the first couple tests because there were so many hidden rocks in the tall grass but I found my flow in the next few tests. I did have two crashes back-to-back at the end of test five that cost me a bunch of time but I was able to stay smooth and take the win! Thanks to my team for the support and for having my bike dialed all day!”
 
Kelley had a solid start to the day, placing his KTM 350 XC-F into fourth on the opening test. He battled around the top-five for the next three tests before working his way back toward the podium with a fourth-place finish in test five. Finishing strong with a third in the final test, Kelley was able to secure fourth overall for the day.
 
Ben Kelley: “I had an okay day, I just struggled to get comfortable with the terrain as it was tricky to ride fast and stay mistake-free. I’m looking forward to getting back on the podium at the final round next month.”
 
After being crowned NE Pro2 Champion at the previous round, Trail Jesters KTM Racing Team’s Jesse Ansley charged his way to another second-place finish in the class, in addition to claiming a solid seventh overall on the day.
