The AMA has just announced the 6 riders that will represent the USA during the 85th International 6 Days Enduro. Destry Abbott, Mike Brown, Kurt Caselli, Jimmy Jarret, Timmy Weigand, and Nathan Woods will lead the World Trophy Team against the best off-road riders in the world this November in Mexico. "With the ISDE in Mexico this year, AMA Team USA is looking forward to competing so close to home, and this is the team that can put us on the box in 2010," said AMA Off-Road Racing Manager Chuck Weir. "These riders are hungry for success at off-road racing's crown-jewel event, and each one of them is committed to doing what's necessary to win at this storied international competition."
The World Trophy Team is just one of three premier teams that will represent the USA on November 1-6 for the 2010 ISDE. The Junior Trophy Team will showcase riding talents under the age of 23. There will also be a Women's Trophy Team competing in Mexico at the ISDE.
Ian Blythe, Cory Buttrick, Nick Fahringer, and Taylor Robert will be riding for the Junior team, and Nicole Bradford, Amanda Mastin, and Kerrie Swartz will be competing for the women.
"The ISDE continues to be one of my all-time favorite events," said Abbot, co-captain of the World Trophy Team and ISDE veteran. "I look forward to it every year, and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish as a team. This year's team is extremely strong, and consists of five riders who know what to expect and what it takes to conquer this event and bring home a gold."
