Team France and Team USA get out of the blocks well on Day One of the 2014 ISDE in Argentina.
In what appears to be shaping up to be a rematch of the 2013 International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Sardinia, the 2014 ISDE kicked off today in San Juan, Argentina, with defending event champions Team France getting off to a great start to lead the World Trophy standings over Team USA after Day One on Monday, November 3.
Husqvarna factory rider and reigning E2 World Enduro Champion Pela Renet of France was the fastest rider of the day, taking the overall event lead and the E2 class lead. KTM factory rider and E1 World Champion Christophe Nambotin finished second to Renet by a mere 4 seconds after the first round of six tests., while Australia’s Toby Price was third. Team USA’s Taylor Robert was fourth, ahead of E3 World Champion and KTM factory rider Matthew Phillips.
Thus, France currently sits atop the World Trophy rankings, with Team USA second, thanks to strong opening-day rides by Robert, Charlie Mullins and Kailub Russell. Team Australia is third. KTM factory rider Ivan Cervantes helped Team Spain ride into fourth place, ahead of Team Germany. In the individual categories Nambotin leads the E1 class, Phillips and Russell are 2-3 in E2, Price, Robert and Cervantes are 1-2-3 in E3.
In the Manufacturer’s Trophy, KTM 1 (Nambotin, Phillips and Cervantes) leads the ratings after Day One, and KTM 2 (Mullins, Robert and Russell) is second.
Some 500 riders from 30 nations are contesting the 2014 ISDE.
