FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s Mateo Oliveria posted a wire-to-wire victory at Round 5 of the 2025 AMA West Hare Scrambles (WHS) Series, increasing his lead in the Pro Class standings with one round remaining.

WEST HARE SCRAMBLES – ROUND 5

It was another exceptional effort from Mateo Oliveira in Round 5 of the West Hare Scrambles at the Mt. Shasta Ski Park in Northern California, finishing in a total time of 2:21:08 after five laps.

Oliveira powered his KTM 450 XC-F to a fast start at the inaugural Mt. Shasta Ski Park Hare Scramble, and wouldn’t look back for the remainder of the five-lap encounter, claiming his third victory of the year and increasing his series lead to 29 points with one round remaining later this month.

Mateo Oliveira: “I approached this race like all others, I focus a lot on the start and then pick my spots of where I can manage or put the hammer down. This event was a lot different from Glen Helen with a bunch of tricky switchbacks and technical mountain climbs, but overall, I was happy with how today went and it was awesome to pick up my third win this season."

NATIONAL ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 4



FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Ben Kelley took third place in the NE Pro1 Class following Round 4 of the 2025 AMA National Enduro Series at the Flying W National in Cherryville, Missouri, enduring challenging conditions to secure a podium finish.

Upon rebounding from an illness which hampered his results at the previous round, Kelley made a welcome return to the podium equipped with the KTM 350 XC-F to record what was a convincing third-place result in the NE Pro1 Class.

Ben Kelley: “It was a pretty good round here in Missouri – I rode solid all day! It was a little slippery with a good bit of chunky and loose rocks, so it was pretty technical in sections. I was competitive all day and really ramped it up at the end, winning the last two tests, and securing third overall. I need to start a little faster at the next one and keep it consistent to try and fight for a win at one of these things, but all-in-all, satisfied with my day!"

FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers rider Angus Riordan experienced a trying day at the races, with the Australian racer struggling to come to terms with the conditions as he rode his KTM 250 XC-F to P7 in the NE Pro2 Class.

Angus Riordan: “It was a tough day of racing for me today. I struggled to adapt to the terrain, and just could never really get going and find a flow. We'll regroup and come back stronger at the next one. Thank you to the team for the support."

In addition, KTM Team Landers-supported Chase Landers put in a strong ride in the NE Pro2 Class, by claiming a solid second position at the fourth round of the season.
