here's so much more to winning an Interna-
tional Six Days Enduro Championship than
merely riding fast. The U.S. team can now at-
test to that fact, having won the 2016 event in Na-
varra, Spain, marking the first time in the event's
103-year history the Americans have come out
on top on the world stage. The historic victory
marked a turning point in American off-road rac-
ing, and also put a capstone on the legacy of the
Caselli family—the driving force behind the effort
to master the ISDE. Unfortunately neither Kurt
nor his father Rich are here to share in the cel-
ebration of the U.S. Trophy Team's historic win,
but Taylor Robert, Kailub Russell, Layne Michael
and Thad Duvall share their landmark victory with
the Casellis, along with the hundreds of volun-
teers and people behind the scenes who rallied
the team effort that led them to the top.
