\"fim-isde-day1\"<\/a>Day one of the ninety-second running of the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Brive, France saw defending FIM World Trophy team champions the USA run into troubles almost as soon as the event started. Crashing on the opening special test Thad Duvall \u2013 Husqvarna badly injured his left wrist, forcing him to retire soon afterwards.<\/p>\n

In stark contrast to the disappointing fortunes faced by team USA, France\u2019s FIM World Trophy squad enjoyed a successful opening day, claiming the win despite Loic Larrieu \u2013 Yamaha picking up a one-minute time penalty at the end of the day. Sweden topped the FIM Junior World Trophy class ahead of Italy and France with less than one-minute covering the top four teams. Spain head the FIM Women\u2019s World Trophy team category.<\/p>\n

Placing one-minute and fifty seconds ahead of surprise runners-up Finland, France enjoyed a dominant opening day in Brive. Yamaha mounted Loic Larrieu posted the fastest times in the five special tests, but was handed a 60-second penalty for arriving late at the day\u2019s final time control following troubles re-fittings his front wheel. Jeremy Tarroux \u2013 Sherco topped the Enduro 1 class, Christophe Nambotin \u2013 KTM was fastest in the Enduro 3 category, with ISDE newcomer Christophe Charlier \u2013 Husqvarna fastest in Enduro 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was a good day for me and team France,\u201d explained Christophe Nambotin, France World Trophy team rider. \u201cIt was a long, dusty day. The first day of the ISDE is always strange, with riders from all countries mixed together. Like all competitors, I caught some slower riders on some tests, but generally all was ok for me. It\u2019s disappointing that the USA lost one of their riders, but it can happen to any team. We have to keep pushing, but make sure we don’t make any mistakes in the days to come. It\u2019s going to be a tough event, that\u2019s for certain.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the stand out performances of the opening day was Finland\u2019s runner-up result in the World Trophy class. With former Enduro World Championship regular Matti Seistola \u2013 KTM coming out of semi-retirement to compete for Finland, the Finns placed twenty-six seconds ahead of Australia in third. Spain placed fourth, despite their Enduro 1 class rider Josep Garcia \u2013 KTM enduring an eventful day with numerous crashes. Portugal ended the day in fifth ahead of Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic with Brazil rounding out the top ten.<\/p>\n

Three World Trophy teams saw one of their riders\u2019 fail to reach the finish of day one \u2013 USA, Chile and Japan.<\/p>\n

Sweden got the defence of their FIM Junior World Trophy title off to the best possible start by topping the opening day \u2013 twenty-eight seconds ahead of Italy \u2013 helped by an impressive performance by Albin Elowson \u2013 Husqvarna. Italy showed that they are more than capable of claiming victory in the Junior World Trophy class, as did France who placed less than four-seconds behind the Italian trio. The fourth team to place less than one-minute apart at the head of the Junior World Trophy category was the USA, fifty-three seconds behind winners Sweden.<\/p>\n

Helped by the performance of Laia Sanz \u2013 KTM, Spain have taken an early lead in the FIM Women\u2019s World Trophy category. Some forty-two seconds ahead of defending champions Australia, Spain will have to keep their focus as they head into the second day of competition if they are to stay ahead of the experienced Australian trio. The USA placed third, France fourth with Sweden fifth.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Christophe Nambotin \u2013 KTM was the day\u2019s overall fastest rider, placing just over six seconds ahead of American Taylor Robert \u2013 KTM and Jeremy Tarroux \u2013 Sherco. In the Enduro 1 category Tarroux was the day\u2019s fastest rider, finishing ahead of Italians Davide Guarneri \u2013 Honda and Davide Soreca \u2013 Honda. Christophe Charlier \u2013 Husqvarna was the fastest Enduro 2 class rider, finishing ahead of Australia\u2019s Daniel Milner \u2013 KTM and Swede Albin Elowson \u2013 Husqvarna. Finishing just six seconds apart, Christophe Nambotin \u2013 KTM was the fastest Enduro 3 class competitor ahead of Taylor Robert \u2013 KTM and Spain\u2019s Jaume Betriu \u2013 KTM.<\/p>\n

Day two of the ninety-second ISDE will see riders complete the same two hundred and fifty kilometre course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
