ISDE: Aussie girls on top while USA leads
Aussie girls eye fourth consecutive ISDE win after day twoThe Americans may have extended their lead in the International Six Day Enduro's (ISDE) World Trophy class at the end of day two, but it's the women who are flying the flag for Australia. The women's team, made up of Jess Gardiner, Tayla Jones and Jemma Wilson, have dominated the event for the last three years and appear on track to make it four in a row, finishing day two's proceedings leading the Women's World Trophy class.
It wasn't such good news for the Aussie men, however. The Husqvarna-mounted Josh Strang was forced to sit out the first day due to injury, while day two claimed Daniel Milner as his Yamaha suffered technical issues.
With luck against the Australian 2015 victors, it was a close battle at the front with Italy and Spain doing their best to stay in contention behind Team USA, who are currently 32 seconds adrift in the overall classifications.
At the end of day two, Sweden leads the Juniors in the overall standings while hosting nation Spain took the day's win. Spain's day-two dominance in the junior ranks was helped by Josep Garcia's (Husqvarna) near perfect performance to take the individual stage win.
Also topping the Enduro 1 class as the day's best performer, Garcia outlined his positive performance.
"I had a very good day today," he said.
"The most important thing was that I didn't crash. The special tests are getting very rough and it is easy to make mistakes, but everything went well for me. I hope I can continue to be fast tomorrow when we have a new track."
While America's Taylor Robert (KTM) held a comfortable 27-second lead in the Enduro 2 class by day's end, it was Australia's Daniel Sanders (KTM) who came from behind to finish day two with a 19-second lead over Italy's Giacomo Redondi (Honda).
The third day sees the competitors head to a new course for the first time in this event, with the scheduled two laps and six special tests equalling almost 250km of competition for day three.
