Round 3 - AMA EnduroCross Series
RENO, Nev. – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart secured his first overall win of the 2021 AMA EnduroCross Series on Saturday with a dominant sweep in all three of the night’s Main Events. He was joined on the podium by FMF/Maxxis/RPM KTM Racing’s Cooper Abbott, who extended his podium streak to three-in-a-row with an impressive third-place finish at the series’ halfway point inside the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center.
 
For Hart, the championship momentum changed in a big way as he established himself as the rider to beat at Round 3. After qualifying seventh in the hot laps, Hart upped his race pace at the start of moto one to capture a second-place start and quickly charge his way into the lead battle. With unusually long lap times, Hart was able to break away from the second-place rider in the last half of the race to finish 17 seconds ahead for the win. 
 
In the second race, Hart wasted no time powering his KTM 350 EXC-F to the front and he once again delivered a flawless performance to come away with a 16-second victory. Ending on a high note, the Canadian rider put forth another sweeping performance in the third and final Main Event, where he led all seven laps to a closing victory. Halfway through the series, Hart now sits just nine points out from the championship leader.
 
Trystan Hart: “I’m super stoked to grab my first EnduroCross win of the season! After the first two rounds, I was really upset and I didn’t know what was going on but I knew I wasn’t even close to my best. So, to finally make it happen and win all three Main Events was amazing and such a good feeling. I’m looking forward to Round 4 in Prescott.”
 
KTM-supported rider Shelby Turner secured a second-place finish in the Women’s Class, while also racing her way to a top-five result in the Intermediate Main Event.
 
Round 4 of the AMA EnduroCross Championship will take place in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on Saturday, October 23. For more information on the series and to see full results, visit www.endurocross.com
