Each year the International Six Days Enduro stands out as the Olympics of off-road motorcycle racing. The best riders in the world are selected to represent their respective countries and challenge themselves against the terrain, and other riders. A lot can, and will happen throughout six days of racing, so the event requires a rider to not only be physically tough, but also mentally tough and have a machine capable of lasting through the entire event.

The 2015 ISDE officially begins Monday September 7^th in Kosice, Slovakia. With dense woods similar to that of the eastern United States, the American teams have an excellent chance to achieve what has never been done before, claim the World Trophy overall win.

This year’s United States World Trophy and Junior teams are represented by a number of the best riders that the United States has to offer, with a number of regular GNCC Racing competitors. This year’s American World Trophy Team sees GNCC regulars Kailub Russell contesting his third ISDE after finishing as top American in 2014, Thad Duvall returning to the Trophy Team for his fourth ISDE and Ryan Sipes making his third ISDE. Along side them will be Team Captain Mike Brown, followed by Taylor Robert and Gary Sutherlin. 

The United States Junior Trophy Team is full of talent as well, and they are all familiar faces to the GNCC Racing Nation with Layne Michael, Nick Davis, Grant Baylor and Steward Baylor. After a stellar 2014 ISDE where the Junior Team came away with Gold Medal honors, this year’s team looks to achieve the same success.

GNCC Racing is extremely proud of our American riders competing in this year’s ISDE as the opportunity to represent the USA is a great honor.
