Robert, who was originally slated to compete in the TKO and other select U.S. off-road races this summer, will focus on recovering his injury and plans to return to racing as soon as his doctor clears him to race.

Robert’s FMF KTM Factory Racing teammate and three-time defending TKO Champion – Cody Webb – will compete this weekend aboard a KTM 300 XC-W. As the reigning AMA EnduroCross Champion, former trials rider and most recent podium finisher at the Erzberg Rodeo, Webb is ready to race this Sunday. The TKO features a multi-round “knockout” format, with differences unique to each round as the riders race against the clock in some and head-to-head in others across multiple types of terrain and distances. The TKO includes amateur classes on Saturday, August 20 with the top 25 finishers earning the opportunity to compete in the Pro class on Sunday, August 21.
