2021 , so he couldn ’ t be faulted if he was riding with some caution at this year ’ s opener . Despite playing it somewhat safe , the Connecticut rider still landed on the podium with a th ird-place finish .
“ I came in healthy and got out healthy , so , I ’ m stoked on it ,” said Toth . “ Overall , the day was good . The track was much rougher than last year , but overall , a typical Sumter . A bit rougher , but it was a good day . Get out of here healthy with a third .”
Craig DeLong led a Husqvarna conga line in fourth , fifth and sixth , with teammates Thad DuVall and Trevor Bollinger finish ing fifth and sixth , respectively .
“ I started slow and it took me two tests to make a few changes back to what I ended the year with . I did that , and then I started to kind of get in the mix ,” said DeLong . “ As the day went on , I felt better and better . Happy how it ended , but a little disappointed how it started .”
Despite having an issue with his rear brakes in th e first test , Duvall looked solid en route to fifth .
“ I ’ m just excited to be back in the National Enduros ,” said DuVall . “ I had a lot of fun . I enjoy getting a little sketchy between some tight trees . It ’ s fun . I feel like the National Enduros make me a little better rider . Keep me really crisp and get that sprint speed . I felt good all day .”
