Toth Tough at Georgia Sprint Enduro
A
fter winning easily during
Saturday's racing at the Bo-
swell Farm Sprint Enduro, round
four of the series in Greensboro,
Georgia, March 19-20, Josh Toth
narrowly escaped with Sunday's
win. Despite the scare, the FMF/
KTM rider easily won the overall
by a 55-second margin over Am-
Pro Yamaha's Layne Michael with
the two days combined.
It was Toth's second win in a
row in the series and it puts him
19 points up on Michael in the
championship standings, 212 to
193.
Toth took a relatively easy win
on Saturday but had to work hard
for Sunday's win. On Sunday,
Michael won the first two cross
tests and held the lead by just
under two seconds going into
the final test of the day, an en-
duro test. Toth had been fast all
weekend in the enduro test and
despite both riders going down
in the section, the KTM rider
emerged with the test win by
three seconds, sealing Sunday's
win and the overall.
Toth won nine tests in all, five
on Saturday and four on Sunday.
Michael topped three tests
over the weekend, one test on
Saturday and two tests on Sun-
day.
"The cross tests were close
all day on Sunday and I thought I
had a big advantage coming into
today with the enduro test," said
Toth. "I rode well, but everyone
just stepped it up on Sunday and
the times got way closer. Me and
Layne went down to the wire. He
beat me by a second or two in
the cross test, and then I'd pull
him a little bit in the enduro test.
Going into that last one, he had
a second and a half on me. He
ended up going down at the end.
I saw him a turn ahead and I was
