Team Aus locked in for 2025 Italian ISDE

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

The World Trophy line-up this year will contain Jonte Reynders (KTM) and Josh Strang (Beta), who have both retained their places, and they will be joined by returning ISDE riders 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, while Milner and Strang were members of the 2018-winning World Trophy team.

The Junior World Trophy, open to riders up to 23 years, will see 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 the Grand National Cross Country Series alongside Strang, Danielle McDonald (Yamaha) and Tayla Jones (Honda) – who will again compete in the Women’s World Trophy alongside Jess Gardiner (Yamaha), with the trio coming off brilliant second places at the last two ISDEs.

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

The 2025 ISDE will be held in Bergamo, Italy from August 24-29, in the event’s second visit to the scenic and challenging terrain of the Lombardy region since 2021.
