AMA Announces 2024 ISDE U.S. Teams
T
he AMA announced the 10
Trophy and 21 Club Team rid-
ers who will represent the United
States at the 98th FIM Interna-
tional Six Days Enduro (ISDE),
which is scheduled for October
14-19 in Galicia, Spain.
The 10 Trophy riders will make
up the U.S. World Trophy, Junior
World Trophy and Women's
World Trophy teams. Each par
-
ticipating country is allowed four
riders on its World Trophy team,
three riders 23 or younger on its
Junior Trophy team, and three
female riders on its Women's
Trophy team.
"We are coming off a stellar
result from last year and our
team is striving to repeat the
success again this year," KTM
Director of Off-Road Racing,
and ISDE Team Manager, Antti
Kallonen said. "Once again, I'm
pleased we are able to bring
the best riders to the race, and
they all have the same one and
only goal in mind. These riders
should excel very well in the
conditions we'll see in Spain this
October. It was eight years ago
when the USA won their first
World Trophy title in Spain, so
we have a good feeling heading
into this year's event."
Looking to defend their 2023
title, the 2024 U.S. World Trophy
Team includes Dante Oliveira
(KTM), Johnny Girroir (KTM),
Craig DeLong (Husqvarna) and
