SEPTEMBER 7-12, 2015
KOSICE, SLOVAKIA
P106
CLUB
Team USA fielded its usual
complement of six Club teams,
each comprised of three riders.
A Dutch team took control of this
category midweek and claimed a
five-minute winning margin over
a Swedish trio with a team from
the Czech Republic third, 5:29
farther back.
The top U.S. team all week
was the GoFasters.com three-
some of Reid Brown, Nate
Ferderer and Brian Garrahan,
with Six Days veteran Garrahan
(who recently turned 40) getting
faster as the week progressed
to lead the team to fourth place.
In fact, Garrahan also ended up
being the fastest U.S. Club rider,
earning gold for his eighth in
C2. Ferderer and Brown earned
golds in C3, finishing fifth and
sixth in that class.
Next in line for Team USA was
the Boise Ridge Riders (Kale
Elworthy, Skyler Howes and A.J.
Lehr) at 12th. Elworthy became a
gold medalist for 12th in C2, Six
Days sophomore Lehr finished
on gold for seventh place in C3
while rookie Howes claimed
silver after his 14th in C3.
The Missouri Mudders were
just behind at 13th. Mike Pillar
put in a solid week for 19th in C1
and a gold medal; Kyle McDonal
was just off the C3 podium in
fourth place that got him a gold;
and Ryan Kudla made amends
for his practice track crash and
broken shoulder to finish 12th in
C3 for a silver.
Senior riders Jayson Densley,
Fred Hoess and Brian Storrie
comprised the Elizabeth Scott
team that finished 15th.
Hoess has reportedly ended
his Six Days career on a high
note, his 19th gold courtesy
of 10th in C1. Densley and
Storrie both rode C3 and
finished with silver medals,
Densley 17th and Storrie
20th.
The all-C1 Eric Cleveland
team ran into a few problems
on its way to 22nd, but Dillon
Shepard rode to 27th for
gold after twisting an ankle.
Geoffrey Sanders and Jubal
Brown finished on silver,
Sanders 41st and Brown
42nd just seven seconds
apart.
Finally, the all-New England
Tony Agonis trio comprised of
Trail Jesters Ben Kelley, John
Kelley and Josh Toth finished
29th out of the 96 Club teams.
Ben Kelley showed good speed
en route to gold for 13th in C2
with John ninth in C3, also tak-
ing home a gold medal. Toth had
an issue on the first day and had
to take a DNF but was able to re-
impound to finish the week. The
youngest rider on the U.S. team
then showed what he was truly
capable of, eventually winning
one test, turning in the fastest
score among American Club
riders on day five and winning
the first C1 moto of day six. Be-
ing a "re-impound rider," he was
ineligible for a medal. CN
The Australians dominated the
Women's World Trophy division.
