On what was one of the toughest courses of the year, KTM’s Mike Lafferty held on to win his third enduro of the AMA Sports FMF Racing National Championship Enduro Series in Wellston, Ohio, June 4.
Despite riding with a sore knee, Lafferty, aboard a 400 EXC, established an early lead and held it through out the two-loop, approximately 170-mile enduro.
KTM riders filled the top three positions on the podium, with Lafferty taking the win followed by Stephen Edmonson and Russell Bobbitt.
Gas Gas rider Fred Hoess finished fourth, while John Barber rounded out the top five. KTM pilots Mark Hyde and Rich Lafferty finished sixth and seventh, respectively.
