Trystan Hart won two of the three EX Pro motos Saturday night at the Maverik Center to take his third consecutive overall victory in the 2026 AMA EnduroCross Championship. The Round 4 win cut Jonny Walker’s championship lead to a single point with two rounds remaining.

Hart’s 1-2-1 finishes gave him four Olympic points. Walker finished second overall with a 2-4-5 scorecard and 11 points, while Ryder LeBlond’s 3-1-8 finishes earned third with 12.

LeBlond won the second moto to set up a showdown with Hart for the overall. His final race was far less straightforward: he battled Cooper Abbott and Walker, went down several times and suffered a hard crash across the finish line late in the moto. He finished eighth, but still took third overall for his fourth podium in four rounds.

EX PRO MOTO 1

Hart led the opening lap ahead of LeBlond and Walker, then stayed out front for all 12 laps. Walker moved into second on Lap 2 and kept the pressure on, closing to within 0.484 seconds after Lap 6.

The gap grew again over the second half of the race. Hart finished 2.353 seconds ahead of Walker. LeBlond held third from Lap 2 onward.

Cody Webb recovered from ninth on Lap 3 to fourth, moving ahead of Niko Piazza on Lap 11. Piazza finished fifth, with Abbott sixth.

EX PRO MOTO 2

Max Eppelmann led the first three laps of the second moto. From fifth on the opening lap, LeBlond picked his way into second by Lap 3 and took the lead a lap later. He stayed there to win the 11-lap race by 8.704 seconds.

Hart had more ground to make up. He was 12th after the opening lap and reached third on Lap 7. He moved ahead of Utah’s Braxton Hintze for second on Lap 9. Hintze held on for third, his best moto finish of the night.

Walker was eighth after Lap 1 and dropped to 14th on Lap 2. He recovered to fifth with one lap remaining and took fourth on the final lap, ahead of James Flynn. Hart and LeBlond entered the finale tied on three Olympic points, with Walker on six.

Cooper Abbott and Jonny Walker battle in Salt Lake City. Abbott finished second in the final moto; Walker took second overall.

EX PRO MOTO 3

Hart took control from the opening lap and led all 12 laps to secure the overall. Behind him, Abbott, Walker and LeBlond traded positions in a close fight, with Webb also in contention.

Abbott held second through the first eight laps. Walker worked forward from sixth on the opening lap and reached second on Lap 9, but Abbott reclaimed the position on Lap 10. Despite several falls, LeBlond was back in third on Lap 10. A hard crash across the finish line came late in the race; the timing record shows a 56.005-second Lap 11 and a drop from third to eighth.

Abbott finished second, 17.090 seconds behind Hart. Webb moved from fifth to third on Lap 11, with Hintze taking fourth and Walker fifth. LeBlond finished eighth, enough to retain third overall by three points over Abbott.

The final-moto result gave Abbott fourth overall with 15 Olympic points. Webb took fifth with 16, and Hintze’s 12-3-4 finishes earned sixth with 19.
