A
week after flying back from the 100th 6Days
FIM Enduro of Nations in Portugal, FMF
KTM Factory Racing Off-Road Team's Dante
Oliveira shook off the physical and mental fatigue
to record his seventh win of the season in the Rocky
Mountain ATV/MC AMA National Grand Prix Cham-
pionship Series, presented by FMF. Coincidentally,
the round-nine triumph over FMF RPM Racing KTM's
Mason Semmens and Cole Zeller, the Pro II win-
ner who sped to third overall, also secured Dante
Oliveira's seventh straight series championship.
"The travel and time changes eat you up quite a
bit," Dante Oliveira said. "I've done eight [6Days], and
I've never had jet lag or fatigue like this—not like
muscle fatigue and all but overall feeling drained all
week long, so resting was key.
