Girroir Wins Sprint Enduro World
Championship
T
his year's three-day 2024
Sprint Enduro World Champi-
onship was a scorcher, both on
the track and off, at Harleywood
in Bristol, Virginia, July 13-15.
However, FMF/KTM Factory Rac-
ing's Johnny Girroir was virtually
unstoppable, grabbing a domi-
nant overall win on what turned
out to be a long hot weekend,
winning seven of eight tests on
Saturday, five of eight on Sunday,
and four of eight on Monday to
claim the overall win.
Chasing Girroir were Rockstar
Energy Racing's Craig DeLong,
Phoenix Honda's Cody Barnes,
Enduro Engineering's Josh Toth
and FMF KTM Factory Racing's
Dante Oliveira, which is how the
standings stood after the first
day of racing. Although Girroir
shut down the field by winning
seven of eight tests on Saturday:
he won all but one of the enduro
tests, which was won by Oliveira.
On Sunday, DeLong won an
enduro test, while Toth won two,
putting a little pressure on Girroir.
"I didn't have many mistakes
on Saturday and kind of rode
smooth," said Girroir. "A couple
of tests, they were getting a little
beat up and little fresh silt dust
berms started developing. But,
yeah, it was a good weekend.
This was a great opportunity to
get back to the ISDE format."
The race weekend (and then
some) also doubled as an ISDE
training camp, led by U.S. ISDE
Team Manager Antti Kallonen,
who will oversee the 14 Trophy
men and women representing
the U.S. Trophy Teams at the
98th FIM International Six Days
Enduro (ISDE) in Galicia, Spain
on October 14-19.
Looking to defend their 2023
World Trophy title, this year's U.S.
Team will be made up of Dante
