Australia women rule

France were the nation to beat in both the FIM World Trophy and Junior World Trophy classes, but in the Women’s World Trophy it was Australia who rounded out the centennial edition of the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) as deserved champions. “It’s been a great week for me and the Australian team," Jess Gardiner said, one of the three winning riders. "Racing in the Enduro World Championship this year has really helped me, I feel like I’ve improved a lot. The goal of the Aussie team was to try and win, which we did, so we’re all really, really happy. “We all had some good days and some not so good days. I crashed on day five and hurt my elbow, but we all pulled together and got to the end of what was a tough race with the result we were looking for. Jemma Wilson came back from injury to race here – she showed a great deal of courage. “The level of support we’ve received from the Aussie team’s just been great. It makes such a difference to have people cheering you on at every special test. Heading home with a winning result makes all the hard work worthwhile. It’s a long way off at this time, but I can't wait to race in Argentina next year, hopefully we can get another win.”
