for the European teams, and I'm expecting us to
take advantage of this and provide a strong result."
In 2013, the U.S. World Trophy Team finished
second, equaling its finish from 1982. The U.S.
squad has never won the prestigious event.
"It is a longstanding American dream to win Six
Days," said AMA Off-Road Manager Chuck Weir.
"Last year, our riders showed us what they can do
on the world stage. For 2014, we're ready to take
our game to the next level. Our goal is no less than
a team world championship at the ISDE this No-
vember."
Brown will serve as team captain.
"I'm honored to once again represent the United
States at the ISDE, and I'm humbled to serve as
team captain this year," said Brown, who races
Husqvarna motorcycles. "I hope to make Kurt
proud in Argentina and help lead the U.S. riders to
a world championship."
KTM's Robert was the top-finishing American in
2013.
Mullins also will race a KTM, while Osborne and
Duvall will race Honda motorcycles.
Brown, Robert, Mullins, Osborne and Duvall
were members of the U.S. World Trophy Team in
2013. New to the Trophy Team is Russell. Rus-
sell, a KTM rider, made his Six Days debut in 2013
when he was a member of the U.S. Junior Trophy
Team.
The AMA will announce the full contingent of
U.S. riders following qualifier rounds in Idaho City,
Idaho, (May 31-June 1) and Wellston, Ohio (June
14-15).
