How’d we go?

Team Australia has wrapped up its campaign at the 99th running of the International Six Day Enduro—now known as the 6Days, FIM Enduro of Nations—held in Bergamo, Italy. From August 24 to 29, the Lombardy region hosted the event for only the second time, welcoming the world back to one of the true heartlands of Enduro. Australia entered the event with a determined squad, even after late changes to the lineup due to injury. Madi Healey stepped up to replace Tayla Jones in the Women’s World Trophy team, while Jye Dickson filled in for Andy Wilksch in the Senior World Trophy squad. The reshuffled team delivered in true Aussie fashion, showing grit and composure across the six demanding days.

Australia wrapped up the 2025 ISDE in Bergamo, Italy with two podium finishes from its three Trophy teams.

Italy dominated on home soil, winning both the World and Junior World Trophy categories, while the USA claimed the Women’s title for the sixth time, now equal with Australia for the most wins.

Individual Highlights:

• Kyron Bacon was Australia’s standout, finishing 6th outright and 2nd in the E2 class, with a strong final-day performance.
• Danielle McDonald finished 3rd individually in the women’s standings.
• Josh Strang, Angus Riordan, and Daniel Milner each scored top-10 finishes in their respective classes (E3, E1, and E2).
