Maxxis/KLiM/DirtWise KTM team racer Jesse Groemm rode to magnificent 2nd place finish at Rd. 5 of the SETRA Enduro series, held in perfect conditions at Cherokee, GA on Sunday, Febraury 23.
Jesse Groemm was very pleased with the way he rode and went on to say, "I had such a fun time out there today and I'm really excited was get a strong result so early in the race season. The track had a few slippery spots on it but overall it was pretty awesome. I won the first three tests pretty easily against some stiff competition, but then in the last two tests I had a few tip overs from some small mistakes which meant I lost a significant amount of time."
"I was so stoked with not only how awesome my KTM 250 was in its performance today but I was also very pleased with the way I rode it. I've been building my strength and endurance during the winter getting ready to hit it hard at this year's National Enduros, plus also in the XC2 class at the GNCCs. I'm building up to be a bonafide contender at the National Enduros so today's result reinforces that I'm definitely on track to make that happen. I'm excited and eager to come out swinging this weekend at Rd. 1 in South Carolina!!!"
