T
he opening round of the 2016
Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro
Series kicked off in South
Carolina at the Moto-Vated Sports
Complex with the largest rider turnout
in the series' young history. A 2.5-
mile cross test and a 3.5-mile en-
duro test were laid out for the racers
who would race each test six times
throughout the two-day event. And
when all was said and done, N-Fab/
AmPro Yamaha's Daniel Milner came
away with the overall victory.
DAY ONE
A stacked pro field of 27 riders hit
the tests first, with 2015 ISDE over-
all champion Ryan Sipes being the
first rider through the starting gates.
Sipes, in his first race for the new
Coastal Drilling Husqvarna team,
would finish the first test—the cross
test—in 5:05.119, only good enough
for eighth fastest. It was FMF KTM's
Russell Bobbitt—second in last year's
overall championship and the second
rider to start the test—who would end
up with the test win with a 5:00.141
ahead of Milner and FAR/KR4
Husqvarna's Thad DuVall.
