2025 AMA EnduroCross Championship ended with one of the closest finishes in recent memory. Jonny Walker claimed the title for Triumph Racing after tying on points with Trystan Hart and winning the championship on the race-win tiebreak.
It was a night shaped by a rough and unpredictable track inside Angel of the Winds Arena. Deep ruts, heavy dirt and constantly changing lines pushed riders into Hard Enduro-style challenges from the very first lap.
A tough start for Walker
Walker’s night began in the worst possible way when his bike stalled during hot-lap qualifying, leaving him last in gate picks. Hart started with a clear advantage and only needed to finish ahead of Walker to secure his third straight title.
Moto 1 & Moto 2: Walker fights back
Despite the setback, Walker charged through the field. He won the opening moto after navigating the ruts with impressive control, while Hart followed in second.
The second moto played out similarly — both riders starting from the back, but Walker found the fast lines again and took another win. With two moto victories, he moved into the tiebreak lead and shifted the pressure onto Hart.
Final moto: holding the line
Hart came out swinging in moto three and pushed hard for the win he needed. Even after briefly taking the lead, he couldn’t drop Walker. The Triumph rider stayed glued to his rear wheel, finishing second — enough to secure the championship.
Strong nights for Webb & LeBlond
Cody Webb wrapped up fourth overall after consistent rides throughout the night. Ryder LeBlond secured third in the final standings, marking a major step forward in his EnduroCross career.
A brutal track that changed everything
Several riders described Everett as one of the toughest tracks in years. The soft conditions rewarded precise riding and punished small mistakes. Many lines had to be committed to early, making starts and racecraft more important than ever.
A historic moment for Triumph
This title marks Triumph Racing’s first major off-road championship and a milestone for their TF 450-E program. Walker’s late-season form — including a 1-1-1 sweep in Reno — proved decisive as the series reached its final round.
