So far, so good for the Americans at the 2019 ISDE, but there are still four more days of racing including the brutal motocross test on the last day to go. Some issues dropped the AMA District 37 Club Team 83 positions, but all of the other teams either stayed in the same or better positions overall. Day 3 will bring a new course and new test sections for the riders.
