Samuli Aro of the KTM Enduro Factory Team came home in second place to register his second impressive E2 podium in two days on the last leg of the North American 4-race sequence as part of the Enduro World Championships. While on Saturday Aro succeeded in winning over his arch rival and fellow Finn Mika Ahola, on Sunday roles were reversed and he had to settle for second. Coming through the wooded and stony 65km course 7.58 behind Ahola, the standings leader, Aro picked up another 47 championship points for his efforts and consolidates his second place in the competition. Aro's teammate, Fabien Planet of France was fifth to wrap up an excellent weekend for the KTM Factory team. "Aro rode very well and conditions were perfect," said a happy KTM team boss Fabio Farioli.
