At the end of the fourth day of competition at the 2015 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Kosice, Slovakia, Australia moved one step closer to securing a memorable clean sweep of the World Trophy, Junior Trophy and Women’s Trophy competitions.

Remaining at the head of each of the three classes, with one full day of competition remaining, along with the final day motocross races, things are looking very good for Australia.

Extending their lead at the top of the World Trophy team competition over Italy by three minutes, Australia enjoyed yet another strong day in Slovakia and are now placed more than 15 minutes clear at the top of the class.

With a new course bringing with it two new special tests, strong overall performances from Daniel Milner and Daniel Sanders ensured another winning Australian World Trophy Team performance.

Behind Australia it is Italy who remains second, close to 15 minutes ahead of Finland. Germany, Czech Republic and Sweden round out the top six with home nation Slovakia seventh, just over five minutes behind Sweden. Running into trouble on day four, the USA’s World Trophy team was reduced by one rider, as Thad Duvall was forced to retire from competition with a technical problem.

There is no change in the top three of the Junior Trophy competition where Australia leads ahead of Sweden and the USA. Stretching their advantage by a further two and a half minutes Australia are now placed close to 11 minutes ahead. The USA are a further five minutes behind Sweden who are followed by France, Italy and Great Britain.

In the Women’s Trophy competition the Australian trio of Jessica Gardiner, Tayla Jones and Jemma Wilson now sit an incredible 39 minutes clear of their nearest challengers. While France maintain a comfortable advantage over Sweden, their Scandinavian rivals Finland sit just seven minutes behind in fourth.

USA’s Ryan Sipes ended day four as the overall fastest rider, once again battling with Australia’s Daniel Milner for the top spot in the Enduro 2 category. Behind Sipes and Milner was France’s Loic Larrieu. Sipes, Milner and Larrieu hold the top three positions in the overall Enduro 2 class results, with Sipes now 44 seconds ahead.

Finn Eero Remes put his disappointment from day two behind him, when he incurred heavy time penalties, to top the Enduro 1 class. Behind Remes, Jamie McCanney placed second with German Eddie Hubner third. In the overall Enduro 1 class results McCanney sits 1m49s ahead of Australian Josh Green.

Australia’s Daniel Sanders secured the win in the Enduro 3 class, finishing ahead of Mathias Bellino and Oscar Balletti. Sanders is now place 1m41s ahead of Bellino in the overall Enduro 3 results with Portugal’s Luis Correia third.

Day five, the final full day of competition, will see riders return to the same trails and special tests as used today, which are sure to be much rougher second time around.
