Australia’s enduro club community is sending six teams and 18 riders to the 100th FIM International Six Days Enduro in Grandola, Portugal from October 12-17, with a mix of ISDE veterans and first-time representatives chasing the ultimate test of off-road endurance.

Australia’s enduro club community is preparing for one of the biggest challenges in off-road motorcycle racing, with six Australian teams set to compete at the prestigious FIM International Six Days Enduro in Grandola, Portugal from October 12-17. Often referred to as the “Olympics of Enduro,” the ISDE brings together riders from across the globe for six gruelling days of racing that places a premium on endurance, speed, consistency and teamwork.

This year’s Australian club contingent comprises 18 riders across six teams, blending experienced ISDE competitors with first-time representatives. Several riders are returning for their second, third or even sixth ISDE appearance, while many newcomers will realise a lifelong dream by competing on the international stage.

Leading the charge is Dandenong Motorcycle Club 1, featuring young guns Will Price, Jack Mentha and Dylan McDonald. DMCC’s depth continues with its No. 2 team of multi-ISDE club rider Scott Noble alongside Billy McCulloch and Brett Tomholt, while DMCC 3 combines experience and determination with Ray Borg returning for his second ISDE appearance, joined by Brent Brady and Alex Sword.

Oyster Bay Motorcycle Club is represented by emerging talent Marley Camp alongside seasoned campaigners Damien Scurlock and Zac Anderson. One of the more unique stories belongs to Dungog Motorcycle Club, fielded by father-daughter duo Ashley and Kaitlynn Sprenger alongside six-time ISDE veteran Mick Todorovic. Representing the west, Trail & Enduro Club of WA sends Stephen Crosby back for his second ISDE appearance, joined by rookies Adam Blizard and Nathan Cuff.
