Team Australia has put its opposition on notice for the 99th edition of the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Italy with formidable line-ups in World Trophy, Junior World Trophy and Women’s World Trophy categories.

Always contenders and certainly always among the best places to hang out in the paddock, the Green and Gold colours will be flying in Bergamo, Italy this August as motorcycling Australia announce the World trophy teams for the 99th ISDE.

In the World Trophy, Jonte Reynders (KTM) and Josh Strang (Beta) have retained their places, and will be joined by Daniel Milner (KTM) and Andy Wilksch (Beta) in the four-rider combination.

Milner, the current outright leader in the 2025 Australian Enduro Championship, and Wilksch last competed for Australia at the 2022 ISDE in France, with Milner and Strang also former winners in the World Trophy team competition and individually.

The under-23 Junior World Trophy is certainly one to watch with Team Australia represented by Kyron Bacon (Kawasaki), Gus Riordan (KTM) and Korey McMahon (KTM).

Riordan and McMahon were Junior World Trophy riders at the 2024 ISDE in Spain, while the talented Bacon – now competing in the EnduroGP World Championship – will move across to fortify the 2025 campaign.

Riordan was Australia’s leading rider at the 2024 ISDE, and remains based in America competing in GNCC alongside Strang.

Also making their living in the States, Danielle McDonald (Yamaha) and Tayla Jones (Honda) will again compete in the Women’s World Trophy alongside Jess Gardiner (Yamaha), with the trio coming off second places at the last two ISDEs.

Jones and Gardiner were also recently inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame with Jemma Wilson after winning six consecutive Women’s World Trophies from 2013 to 2018.

Team Australia’s quest for ISDE glory will again receive backing from online retailer MXstore, which stocks a massive range of riding gear, aftermarket dirt bike parts and accessories. The team will also be comprehensively supported by an experienced management group and a large gathering of family and associates.
