Perfection! Girroir Finished Them Off I n tricky and technical condi- tions, FMF KTM Factory Rac- ing's Johnny Girroir remained perfect for the season, picking up his seventh-straight overall victory in the 2024 U.S. Sprint Enduro Series, presented by Moose Racing, after winning both days of this weekend's hot and dusty event at the Marvin's Mountain Sprint Enduro in Ma - sontown, West Virginia, August 24-25. In all, Girroir won 11 of the 12 tests during the weekend and wrapped up the series title one race early in the process. Girroir won all but one test on Saturday, finishing the day 11.6 seconds ahead of AmPro Ya - maha's Liam Draper, who topped Girroir in the second enduro test, Girroir's only defeat. "Saturday went well," said Gir- roir. "I won the first three tests, and then the fourth test, I got caught sleeping, and Liam got me by about 11 seconds. I tight- ened it back up and crushed the last Cross test and rode smooth in the last Enduro test. It was a solid first day." Meanwhile, Draper finished a little over a minute ahead of Phoenix Honda's Cody Barnes, with FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' Angus Riordan another 30 seconds back in fourth. Riordan was also the top Pro 2 rider. One of the top contenders in the Pro 1 class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Racing's Craig DeLong, went down in the second enduro test on Saturday, costing him over a minute, which dropped the Pennsylvania rider considerably down in the stand - ings. Girroir crushed it on Sunday, sweeping all six tests to top Draper by 58 seconds for the day. Barnes was 13 seconds back in third, while Riordan edged out Husqvarna rider Ja - WIND IN THE P38 Jonathan Girroir capped off a perfect U.S. Sprint Enduro season with another victory, this time at the Marvin's Mountain Sprint Enduro in West Virginia.
