This Trystan Hart overcame a horrible Hot Lap where he got stuck and finished 9th. The Canadian rider had his work cut out for him coming from the second row but he rallied his KTM 300 XC-W TPI through the dry and dusty terrain to come away with the race-one victory after time adjustment.

IOWAN HARD ENDURO: TRYSTAN HART TAKES THE WIN

The Iowan Hard Enduro made its debut on the Kenda AMA Extreme Off-Road series calendar. FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart topped the Championship on Sunday with a consistent pair of 1-2 finishes.

Moto one’s one loop course would see the top riders finishing in under 30 minutes. (Most hard enduros have motos of 60 minutes or more) This didn’t suit the riding styles of Cody Webb. He battled back but ultimately finished behind KTM’s Hart.

The event saw the first setback for FactoryONE Sherco’s Cody Webb as he had to settle for a P2 behind Hart. With a race format consisting of a hot lap and two separate motos for the pro racers, Husqvarna’s Haaker remained consistently up front throughout the day. The reigning AMA EnduroCross Champion earned himself a front-row start for the first race following a strong third-place finish in the hot lap session.

Colton Haaker rode smart, dabbled up front and finally took home third overall.

In the final race Haaker put on one last charge to ultimately fight his way back into podium contention late in the race, finishing third in the race and third overall for the day. Taylor Robert had a solid day as well, finishing just off the overall podium in fourth with 2-4 scores for the day.

This was Trystan Hart (center) the winner, Cody Webb (left) was second and on the left Colton Haaker took third.
