MF KTM Factory Racing Off-Road Team's Dante
Oliveira proved to be a fast learner last year, win-
ning the AMA Hare & Hound National Championship
Series, presented by FMF, on his first try, and he's appar-
ently taking those lessons learned and applying them
this year, which could spell trouble for the competition.
Case in point: Last year, at the season opener, 2024
series champ Zane Roberts of the Liqui Moly Beta fac
-
tory team ran away from Oliveira and the rest of the field.
Oliveira was eight minutes back.
