Trystan Hart claimed victory at Round 2 of the 2026 AMA EnduroCross Championship in Nampa, Idaho, winning two of the three EX Pro motos at the Ford Idaho Center.

Hart’s 1-2-1 scorecard gave him four Olympic points and the overall win ahead of Jonny Walker, while Ryder LeBlond completed the podium. Walker still leaves Idaho with the championship lead after two rounds.

Hart Wins Moto 1

Walker led the opening two laps of the first moto, with Hart and LeBlond close behind. A mistake in the matrix section on Lap 3 dropped Walker to third and allowed Hart to take control.

Hart stayed composed at the front and eventually won by 4.182 seconds over Walker, with LeBlond third. Cooper Abbott finished fourth and Cody Webb rounded out the top five.

Walker Strikes Back in Moto 2

Moto 2 belonged to Walker.

After starting fourth, the defending champion quickly worked his way forward and took the lead on Lap 3. From there he controlled the race and won by 9.325 seconds over Hart. Cody Webb took third, with LeBlond fourth and Colton Haaker fifth. That left Hart and Walker tied on three Olympic points heading into the final moto.

Final Moto Decides It

Walker again made the stronger start in Moto 3 and opened a small advantage over Hart. But on Lap 3 he crashed over the bars in the matrix section, dropping to fourth.
