Toth Takes The Title T ension was high for title contenders Josh Toth (FMF/ KTM) and Layne Michael (AmPro Yamaha), as the two riders came into the eighth and final round of the 2022 U.S. Sprint Enduro Se- ries in Harleywood, Virginia, June 18-19, with the championship still very much up for grabs. How- ever, the fight wouldn't be settled just by Toth and Michael since Coastal Racing GasGas' Johnny Girroir was hot off of a win at the previous round and could possi- bly be a spoiler for one of the two contenders. Toth and Michael spent the first seven rounds of the series taking turns exchanging the lead, while also each dealing with multiple injuries throughout the season. Coming into the eighth and final round in Virginia, Michael held a slight seven-point lead over Toth. Meanwhile, Gir- roir had split wins with Michael at the previous round and took the overall despite missing most of the season with a broken pelvis. Toth came out swinging on Saturday, winning all three en- duro tests, topping Girroir by 16 seconds for the win. Tely Energy Racing's Liam Draper had one of his best days of the season with a third on Saturday, dropping Michael to fourth by 28 seconds. Toth's win on Saturday moved him into the lead in the title chase IN THE WIND P44 Josh Toth wrapped up the U.S. Sprint Enduro Championship in Virginia. PHOTOS: SHAN MOORE
