\"\"<\/a>The ninety-second edition of the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) is set to take place in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France from 28 August to 2 September as the event returns to France soil for the first time since 2001.
\nWith much having changed in the World of enduro during the two most recent instalments of the ISDE in France, the popularity of the ISDE remains stronger than ever with more than eight hundred riders taking to the start of this year\u2019s event. With nineteen FIM World Trophy teams entered, sixteen FIM Junior World Trophy teams and nine FIM Women\u2019s World trophy teams, in addition more than five hundred riders have signed up to compete in the Club team competition, with no fewer than one hundred and sixty-six representing home nation France.<\/p>\n

The longest running FIM sanctioned event, there were notable changes at the top of the results last year. With Australia securing a hat-trick of class wins in Slovakia in 2015 with victory in the FIM World Trophy, FIM Junior World Trophy and FIM Women\u2019s World trophy, the ninety-first edition in Spain saw the USA make history by claiming their first ever World Trophy class win. Kailub Russell \u2013 KTM, Ryan Sipes \u2013 Husqvarna, Layne Michel \u2013 Husqvarna and Taylor Robert \u2013 KTM, who also topped the event\u2019s overall individual classification, finally put the USA at the top of the iconic event\u2019s illustrious list of winning World Trophy teams.<\/p>\n

Set to defend their World Trophy title, team USA return to the ISDE with arguably the strongest four-rider team in the competition. With Taylor Robert \u2013 KTM, Thad Duvall \u2013 Husqvarna and Kailub Russell \u2013 KTM once again teaming up with Ryan Sipes \u2013 Husqvarna, the American quartet will face strong competition from France, Australia, Italy and Spain.<\/p>\n

Out to claim a third successive World Trophy team victory on home soil having won in Mende in 1988 and Brive in 2001, France will be focused on nothing but victory. Despite the fact that it\u2019s now three years since they last topped the FIM World Trophy team results, since 2008 France have claimed no fewer than six victories with this year\u2019s squad of Christophe Nambotin \u2013 KTM, Loic Larrieu \u2013 Yamaha, Jeremy Tarroux \u2013 Sherco and Christophe Charlier \u2013 Husqvarna looking to add to that tally.<\/p>\n

Leading France\u2019s World Trophy team will be Christophe Nambotin \u2013 KTM. The former multiple FIM Enduro World Champion and two-time ISDE overall fastest competitor is the most experienced member of France\u2019s squad having been a key member of no fewer than five of France\u2019s six most recent World Trophy team victories.<\/p>\n

Despite making last minute changes to their team, Sweden enter this year\u2019s ISDE with high hopes of a repeat Junior World Trophy victory. With just forty-five seconds separating Sweden from runners-up the USA last year in Spain, Albin Elowson \u2013 Husqvarna, Mikael Persson \u2013 Yamaha and newcomer Joakim Grelsson \u2013 KTM will be hoping that once again they can do just enough to secure class victory.<\/p>\n

Italy is another nation looking for top honours in the Junior World Trophy team competition, which has seen four different countries claim the top spot during the last four years. Filling the third step of the podium in Spain last year, Davide Soreca \u2013 Honda, Andrea Verona \u2013 TM and Matteo Cavallo \u2013 Beta take to the start in Brive following a full year of FIM Enduro World Championship competition.<\/p>\n

Returning to the event with an unchanged Women\u2019s World Trophy team, Australia\u2019s winning trio of Tayla Jones \u2013 Husqvarna, Jessica Gardiner \u2013 Yamaha and Jemma Wilson \u2013 Yamaha start this year\u2019s event as clear favourites for victory. Dominating in recent years and having competed together as a team at four previous ISDE competitions, Australia\u2019s Women\u2019s squad is filled with experience, youthfulness and determination and will go up against eight other teams in the Women\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

The 2017 ISDE takes place in Brive, France from 28 August to 2 September.<\/p>\n
