Meanwhile Ryder Leblond, Colton Haaker, Cody Webb and Cooper Abbott are all in an intense fight for the best of the rest and the podium third step.<\/p>\n<p>The story of round four of the season in the First Interstate Bank Center in Redmond is a 1-1-2 results on the night for Hart who extended his championship lead to six points over Walker. Jonny\u00a0had the speed and was fastest\u00a0out there but starts and first lap hold-ups, or luck depending on how you view it, that have cost him valuable championship points.<\/p>\n<p>Video highlight recap is here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/enduro21.com\/en\/videos\/latest\/2025-ama-endurocross-video-highlights-rnd4-redmond\" hreflang=\"en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2025 AMA EnduroCross video highlights\u00a0\u2013 Rnd4 Redmond<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Injury for Hart in practice<\/p>\n<p>Trystan\u2019s performance was hampered by what his team labelled a \u201cminor arm injury\u201d sustained in practice; \u201cI really didn\u2019t think the top two was in jeopardy tonight,\u201d Hart admitted post-race. \u201cMy arm was really, really not well after practice. Was not working, but I knew the adrenaline was gonna take over, and I was either gonna work, or it wasn\u2019t, and I kind of accepted that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The maths favoured Hart\u2019s approach in Moto 3, where Walker\u2019s aggressive pass \u2013 making contact as he forced his way by \u2013 gave the Triumph rider his first moto win of the night. But a 2-2-1 scorecard wasn\u2019t enough and Hart securing the overall and the valuable championship points.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, look who\u2019s back on the podium. Yamaha\u2019s Cody Webb continued his confidence rebuild with a third-place podium after clocking a 6-3-3 scorecard, showing the speed and aggression of a four-time champion is still there as Goaty (in his words) is \u201cgetting the confidence back\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hot Lap Qualifying: Walker\u2019s Speed Advantage<\/p>\n<p>The night began with hot lap qualifying, where the top 10 riders in championship points run individual timed laps to determine gate selection order for Moto 1. Walker showed his speed advantage by posting the fastest time of 44.466 seconds, earning him first gate pick for the opening moto.<\/p>\n<p>Colton Haaker also looked fast and qualified second with a 45.297, while the injured Hart managed third at 45.676. Cooper Abbott (46.521) and Cody Webb (46.581) rounded out the top five qualifying positions making it four manufacturers in the top five.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2025_endurocross_round_4_redmond_results_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2025_endurocross_round_4_redmond_results_2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>EX PRO Moto 1: Hart defends against charging Walker<\/p>\n<p>Despite Walker\u2019s blistering qualifying lap, it was Ryder LeBlond who grabbed the holeshot to start Moto 1. Hart\u2019s championship instincts kicked in immediately as he seized the lead before the green flag flew, overcoming his third-place qualifying position and injured arm to assume control of the race. Cooper Abbott slotted into third with Walker fourth as the pack thundered into the First Interstate Bank Center\u2019s technical obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott was in the mix, initially fending off Walker\u2019s advances in the battle for second before a decisive inside pass on Abbott through the rock garden claimed second place and set his sights on the injured Hart.<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s charge was relentless. After passing Abbott, the Triumph rider set the fastest lap of Moto 1 \u2013 a full second quicker than Hart \u2013 as he aimed to close the gap on the championship leader. Halfway through the race, Walker found himself on Hart\u2019s rear wheel, having successfully closed what had been a comfortable lead.<\/p>\n<p>Managing lap traffic expertly with one lap remaining, he maintained just enough distance to hold off Walker\u2019s charge and claim the Moto 1 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Moto 2: Hart capitalises on clean air<\/p>\n<p>The inverted start for Moto 2 saw Ty Cullins take the holeshot, but Nick Thompson quickly moved past to assume the lead as the field completed the opening lap. Hart, starting deeper in the pack, wasted no time cutting through the field and pulled into second position behind Thompson, with championship rivals Walker and Webb in pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>When Thompson made mistakes under pressure, Hart pounced, taking over the lead and established clean air ahead of the pack. Hart crossed the finish line to claim the checkered flag for Moto 2, with Walker second and Webb running a strong third.<\/p>\n<p>Moto 3: Walker\u2019s aggressive statement<\/p>\n<p>Walker finally got the start he needed in Moto 3, grabbing the holeshot and looking to make it count. The Triumph rider was looking aggressive but no quarter given by Hart as Jonny went for an early overtake lost the Triumph rider several places\u00a0and handed Hart the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Webb capitalised on Walker\u2019s misfortune, moving\u00a0into second position. But Walker\u00a0wasn\u2019t finished\u00a0and made a pass on Webb to set sail after Hart.<\/p>\n<p>As the race reached its second half, Walker closed the gap dramatically, working through lap traffic with ease to close in on Hart. The championship battle came to a head when Walker put his front wheel in front on the logs turn, forcing his way past to take the lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonny, he had a bit more in the last one,\u201d Hart acknowledged. \u201cWould have been nice to get all three wins, but not risk anything else. So I just played it safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A second-place finish secured the overall victory for Hart and extended his championship lead. Walker claimed the Moto 3 win, but Hart\u2019s 1-1-2 performance trumped Walker\u2019s 2-2-1, giving the KTM rider his third consecutive overall victory.<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s post-race frustration was evident, made all the more understandable given his dominant hot lap qualifying performance. Despite posting the fastest lap time \u2013 44.466, over eight-tenths quicker than Hart \u2013 and earning first choice of gate position, Walker couldn\u2019t convert that speed advantage into holeshots. \u201cTerrible starts. That\u2019s all I can say tonight,\u201d Walker stated bluntly. \u201cI was riding good, and yeah, definitely had the speed, but my starts just really let me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>EX PRO Final Results

intensifies<\/p>\n<p>With two rounds remaining in the 2025 Slavens AMA EnduroCross Series presented by Progressive Insurance, the championship battle between Hart and Walker has reached a critical juncture. Hart\u2019s six-point advantage (97-91) provides a cushion but hardly represents an insurmountable lead, especially given Walker\u2019s demonstrated speed advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the title fight, a fierce battle for the final podium positions is unfolding. Haaker holds third with 73 points, while LeBlond (71), Webb (69), and Abbott (68) are separated by just three points in the fight for fourth through sixth. This tight racing in the middle of the championship standings ensures competitive racing throughout the field as the series heads toward its conclusion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2025_endurocross_round_4_redmond_results_6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2025_endurocross_round_4_redmond_results_6.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Webb\u2019s confidence rebuild<\/p>\n<p>Cody Webb\u2019s third-place finish marked another important step in his season-long confidence rebuild. The four-time champion\u2019s 6-3-3 performance showed steady improvement throughout the night, with Webb finding the aggression that made him one of EnduroCross\u2019s most successful riders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it was definitely a step in the right direction,\u201d Webb explained. \u201cI\u2019m still a little bit off the pace. I mean, Tristan and Johnny are riding phenomenal this year, and, you know, they did their homework leading into the season, and I\u2019m just playing catch up and playing catch up from last season as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Webb was candid about his struggles. \u201cI feel like people are thinking it\u2019s the bike, and I\u2019m just, I\u2019m like, it\u2019s me, guys. I need to get my confidence up and get that charging going, and that first moto, I didn\u2019t have it in me, and I rode really good. I was happy with it, but I just wasn\u2019t aggressive in the beginning, and I can\u2019t get around those guys, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The breakthrough came in Moto 2. \u201cI put myself in good position and charged hard, and, you know, Haaker wasn\u2019t able to get me back in, and I actually pulled on him in that second moto quite a bit,\u201d Webb noted. \u201cThose guys are riding really good, and, you know, a podium is, it doesn\u2019t feel like a win, but it feels great to get back up here and prove myself.
