Tayla Jones locked up the WXC title, giving Dunlop a sweep of all the pro titles up for grabs in 2019.
In the EnduroCross championship, Colton Hacker took the title chase down to the final round, battling his rival all the way to the checkered flag to take the overall victory and his third EnduroCross championship. Haaker relied on Dunlop’s special EnduroCross Geomax® AT81EX that was designed specifically for the unique challenges EnduroCross riders face every race.
