ISDE CLUB TEAMS
Twenty-one riders have been named to
the Club teams that will represent the United
States in the 2018 FIM International Six Days
Enduro in Vina Del Mar, Chile, Nov. 12-17.
Qualification for the Club teams involved
two, three-round series, with western races
in Arizona, California and Idaho and eastern
races in Florida, Michigan and Virginia.
The top seven riders, plus one senior rider, in
each series qualified for the ISDE Club teams.
Additional Club team riders were chosen by
the U.S. ISDE Committee, based on their series
participation and individual event results.
“I’m very happy with the 2018 U.S. ISDE Club
team qualifiers and picks this season, with a
great cross section of the best riders from the
entire country,” said AMA Off-Road Racing
Manager Erek Kudla. “We did very well in Chile
last time the event was held there, in 2007,
with Kurt Caselli becoming the first American
to lead a day. The U.S. Women’s Trophy Team
took the win that year, so we’re looking for-
ward to another great year in South America.”
The qualifying riders will be organized into
teams, which will be announced as the event
gets closer.
The Club teams join the U.S. World Trophy
Team, the U.S. Junior World Trophy Team and
the U.S. Women’s World Trophy Team for the
ISDE competition. The World Trophy teams
