MojoMotoSport Club Team Report – ISDE Edition 7 – Day 5

The storm on the afternoon of day 4 left the area pretty well soaked. This resulted in slippery conditions for the racers in the morning, but eventually gave way to dry, dusty conditions later in the day. The Americans continued their dominance of this year’s ISDE on Day 5, leaving them poised to podium in every team category and individually as well, depending upon their performances on the shorter day 6! Here’s the details after 5 days of enduro racing:

Men’s World Trophy Team
The U.S. team won day 5 by 35 seconds, and continues to lead the Australians by 2:02.52 and the Italian team by 11:57.30. A good performance in the final motocross race will seal the deal. Here’s how the men rank in the overall individually:

Ryan Sipes – E1 2nd place overall 6:23.26 seconds behind leader Josep Garcia
Taylor Robert – E2 1st place overall
Kailub Russell – E2 2nd place overall 1:22.72 seconds behind Robert
Steward Baylor – E3 3rd place overall 9:46.43 behind leader

One more day to go for the 2019 edition of the ISDE. The final day is one 87 kilometer lap* featuring a single fast motocross-style test that’s super entertaining for the crowd. Just knowing that it’s the last day of this grueling race should give the racers a little extra boost to ride hard and get to the finish line. Let’s hope the American men, women, and machines can bring it in to the end safely!

LET’S GO TEAM U.S.A.!!
