Motorcycling Australia (MA) has unveiled its rider selections for the 99th edition of the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) to be held in Italy this August, with Team Australia set to contest the World Trophy, Junior World Trophy, and Women’s World Trophy categories.

The World Trophy Team will comprise Daniel Milner, Josh Strang, Jonte Reynders and Andy Wilksch. Milner and Strang were part of Australia’s 2018 World Trophy-winning team, while both Reynders and Wilksch have each featured prominently in their respective previous ISDE appearances.

In the Junior World Trophy Team – eligible to riders under 23 – Kyron Bacon joins returning representatives Gus Riordan and Korey McMahon to solidify the three-rider roster. Riordan was Australia’s highest-placed junior at the 2024 ISDE and, like Strang, is currently competing in the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series in the United States.

For Bacon, he brings additional strength to this year’s team, having stepped up to the EnduroGP World Championship this year in the EJ category and won the opening two rounds of the season on debut with MGR-ASI Kawasaki in Portugal earlier this month.

The Women’s World Trophy Team remains unchanged from the previous edition, with US-based Danielle McDonald and Tayla Jones, alongside domestic benchmark Jess Gardiner, aiming to go one better after consecutive runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2024.

Jones and Gardiner, alongside Jemma Wilson, were recently inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame in recognition of their six-consecutive ISDE victories from between 2013 to 2018.

The 2025 ISDE will take place in Bergamo, Italy, this August 25-29, where Team Australia will be looking to reclaim top honours on the world stage.
