Results from all classes at the 2025 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Italy where the home nation’s World Trophy team move ahead of France at the top of the leaderboard – USA Women hold 16-minutes lead already.

Day two at the 2025 International Six Days Enduro saw riders and teams back on the same tests and in sunny conditions.

The story of the day is Team Italy’s jump ahead of France on the World Trophy leaderboard. It could be the wet conditions suited the French on day one yesterday, as it did last year in Galicia, but with the sun out the Italians and at least one Spaniard were bossing it.

That Spaniard, Josep Garcia, went fastest overall in every test today, stamping his authority on the individual result (and the sport) but he was kept honest by Andrea Verona who finished just 11.65 seconds adrift.

Italy maintain their advantage in the Junior World Trophy but the Aussies are flying and coming for them. Led by Kyron Bacon, who pulled third scratch today, team Oz close into just half a minute behind the Italian boys.

Meanwhile in the Women’s World Trophy, Team USA are sailing away with it. More than 16 minutes advantage is slightly unreal, even by their standards in recent ISDEs.

World Trophy

As early as test two, team Italy’s men had taken advantage of the drier conditions and earlier start times to jump into the lead. France had a 34 seconds lead at the end of the wet day one but the Italians swung it right back in the sunshine today and look comfortable out front with a near two-minute advantage.

All three leading teams have riders vying for top 10 scratch times in the tests, with Sweden joining France and Italy in that podium fight. But the contest is being won or lost here by the fourth team member and all three have been looking in the rear-view mirror for the collective time tally. It’s one reason why ISDE is so fascinating.

Sweden lost ground after a duff third test result from Mikael Persson – the Triumph Racing rider went from third scratch to 12th after a mistake. But the team is dogged and clawed back by the end of lap two to close in to just over half a minute between France second and Sweden third.

Behind the top three WT teams it’s incredibly close. Spain, USA and Australia are see-sawing back and forth with the Aussies nicking it for fourth today, 10 seconds ahead of USA.

Spain are benefitting from Garcia at one end of the time sheets but losing out with Julio Pando’s time at the other. They are 20 seconds back in sixth and proving the point about team strength.

Garcia wins every test

Typically Josep Garcia – who won day one outright but lost a chunk of time with a crash in the final test – started day two in determined mood. Determined to get his individual advantage back to a decent gap, he began the day with a test time no-one else could match and went on to win every test outright.

Andrea Verona was back on song though and we can see a familiar pattern emerging here yet again at the ISDE: Garcia leads, Verona chases. The pair were separated by 11 seconds scratch today.

Youngsters in the fight

It was a strong day individually for a number of young riders including Morgan Lesiardo, Kyron Bacon and Grant Davis. Two of these riders have good Italian enduro experience, naturally Lesiardo who is Italian, and Kyron Bacon who is racing for an Italian Kawasaki team this year.

Davis has never been here before and clocked in sixth fastest overall impressively finishing fastest American.

Bacon looked to have impressed even himself having ripped a fine third scratch result today behind Verona and Garcia.

Also shoutout to Lukas Neurauter bagging top three results on the long, third enduro test for two days on the bounce.

Aussie Juniors keep Italy honest

ISDE is a team sport and Bacon surely kept his Australian Junior team in the hunt for the Junior World Trophy with his times today. All three Italian and Australian Junior riders are inside the top 10 in class and it shows as Italy continue to lead but only by just over half a minute.

France remain third, two minutes adrift with USA fourth and Spain fifth.

Wonder Women

It’s normal for us to write that team USA Women are leading but, jeez, not normally by this much this early. 16-plus minutes after two days means they can control it from here with France second ahead of the Australia girls today, by half a minute.

The individual battle between Brandy Richards, Australian Daniell Macdonald and Korie Steede for the scratch win is worth keeping an eye on.

Club class

The situation is unchanged in the contest for Club Trophy honours with the official Italian club team doubling their advantage to 3:42. But AMA Club Team Rabaconda kept on today and take over second place, relegating BBM Italian old guys third and followed by four USA club teams dominating the top 10 in class.
