Following today\u2019s earlier decision by the FIM\u2019s International Disciplinary Court, which saw the provisional reinstatement of the eight riders competitors (Marc Bourgeois – Yamaha – France, Anthony Boissiere – Sherco – France, Jeremy Joly – KTM – France, Taylor Robert – KTM – USA, Lorenzo Santolino – Sherco – Spain, Cristobal Guerrero – Yamaha – Spain, David Knight – KTM – Great Britain and Manuel Monni – TM – Italy) who were originally disqualified on day three of the 2015 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), France have moved into the lead of the World Trophy team competition at the end of day five of the ISDE.<\/p>\n
With conditions wet and slippery in and around Kosice following overnight rain, France delivered an impressive team performance and now hold an important two minute and four second lead over Australia. Unable to match the pace set by their French rivals Australia now drop back to second, but with everything still to play for. The battle for victory in the ninetieth edition of the ISDE will go right down to the wire.<\/p>\n
Behind the two leading nations the fight for third overall also remains close with just one day left to settle the scores. Spain, who sit third, have a two-minute advantage over Italy, but still need to give maximum effort on the final day if they wish to repeat their podium result from 2014. With Italy fourth, Great Britain complete the top five.<\/p>\n
Australia are now just one day away from securing victory in the FIM Junior World Trophy team competition. In what has been an outstanding performance, Broc Grabham – Sherco, Tom Mason – KTM, Daniel Sanders – KTM and Tye Simmonds – KTM enter the final day of racing with a comfortable thirteen minute and forty-two second lead.<\/p>\n
Remaining stationed in second, Sweden look set end their week as runners up to Australia. While the first two positions look all but confirmed, the fight for the final step of the podium is still alive. With a one minute and twenty-nine second advantage over France, third placed Italy cannot afford to relax on day six.<\/p>\n
At the end of five testing days of racing in Slovakia, Australia are all but assured victory in the FIM Women\u2019s World Trophy team competition. With only the final day six motocross races remaining the trio of Jessica Gardiner – Sherco, Tayla Jones – Yamaha and Jemma Wilson – Yamaha lead France by over fifty minutes with Sweden a further twenty-one minutes behind in third.<\/p>\n
In the Enduro 1 class, the win on the penultimate day went to Finland\u2019s Eero Remes – TM. Placing just five seconds adrift, Great Britain\u2019s Jamie McCanney – Husqvarna maintains his lead in the category. France\u2019s Antony Boissiere – Sherco sits second, but with only seven seconds separating himself and Spain\u2019s Cristobal Guerrero – Yamaha in third, nothing is yet decided.<\/p>\n
Claiming his first day win of the week, France\u2019s Loic Larrieu – Sherco secured a dramatic victory over Australia\u2019s Daniel Milner – Yamaha by two seconds in Enduro 2. Ending his day in third, USA\u2019s Ryan Sipes – Husqvarna starts the final motocross as favourite for the overall class win from Milner and Larrieu.<\/p>\n
Italy\u2019s Oscar Balletti – KTM recorded his first Enduro 3 win in this year\u2019s ISDE with a narrow three-second margin of victory over Australia\u2019s Daniel Sanders – KTM. Settling for second on day five, Sanders still holds the overall lead in Enduro 3 from Balletti with France\u2019s Mathias Bellino – Husqvarna third.<\/p>\n
With just one short liaison section to ride ahead of the final day\u2019s motocross races, the end of the Slovakian ISDE is now all but insight for the four hundred plus weary competitors still left in the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
