Team USA gets off to a cracking start at the 90th International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Kosice, Slovakia.
There is hope!
While it is never over until it’s over, at least it was far from over for Team USA after the completion of the first day at the 90th running of the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Kosice, Slovakia, today.
Team USA has taken the early lead in the premier World Trophy team competition as it sets out to win an ISDE world title that it has never won. Kailub Russell’s outright fastest time helped to vault the six-rider World Trophy team, which also includes Thad Duvall (Husqvarna), Mike Brown (Husqvarna), Taylor Robert (KTM), Ryan Sipes (Husqvarna) and Gary Sutherlin (KTM), to the top of the standings.
Team Australia is currently second, 1 minute and 14 seconds behind Team USA. Team France, the defending event champions in the World Trophy category after dominating the 2014 ISDE, is currently third overall, 1 minute and 31 seconds behind Team USA. France’s opening day was hampered after after Mathias Bellino was handed a 1-minute penalty after having accidentally started his bike prematurely on the start ramp.
The defending champions in the Junior World Trophy category, the Team USA squad of brothers Grant and Steward Baylor, Justin Jones and Layne Michael got off to a much slower start than their compatriots, finishing fourth on the day, over 4 minutes and 40 seconds behind the class leaders, Team Australia. Team Sweden and Team France finished second and third, respectively.
