Perfection! Girroir Finished Them Off
I
n tricky and technical condi-
tions, FMF KTM Factory Rac-

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

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

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
