The Italian Motorcycling Federation has confirmed the national squads that will represent Italy at the 2025 International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) taking place this year in Bergamo, from August 24 to 29, with the 'Azzurri' aiming for glory on home soil.

With just over a month to go before the 99th edition of the ISDE kicks off in Italy, the host nation has revealed the riders who will wear its colours at one of the most historic events in enduro. This year’s edition is especially significant, as it precedes the centenary of the sport’s most iconic team competition.

In the World Trophy category, the Italian squad will be led by EnduroGP World Champion and GASGAS Factory rider Andrea Verona. He will be joined by Samuele Bernardini (Fantic Factory Racing), Morgan Lesiardo (Triumph Italia Racing), and Matteo Pavoni (Fantic Factory Racing) — four World Championship-level riders with the experience and pace to take on the best in the world.

In the Women’s World Trophy, Italy is also fielding a strong team featuring current Women’s World Championship leader Francesca Nocera (Honda RedMoto), along with Sara Traini (Rieju Planet Racing) and Asia Volpi (Beta-GTS Motor Sport).

For the Junior Trophy, Italy has selected reigning Junior1 World Champion Kevin Cristino (Fantic), who will team up with Alberto Elgari and Manuel Verzeroli, both competing for TM Moto Boano and with solid international experience.

In addition, the FMI has entered two Club Teams: Italy A, composed of Luca Colorio, Valentino Corsi, and Davide Mei, and Italy B, with Simone Cagnoni, Niko Guastini, and Gabriele Melchirori.

Italy heads into this year’s ISDE with high expectations and the full backing of a passionate home crowd — all eyes will be on Bergamo this August as the Azzurri chase success on their own turf.
