With one full day of competition to go ahead of the final motocross races at the ninetieth running of the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Kosice in Slovakia, one rider more than any other is hoping for a trouble-free run to the end of day five. Ryan Sipes - Husqvarna has for many been the start-out performer at this year’s ISDE. Getting the call up to the US World Trophy team alongside Kailub Russell - KTM, Thad Duvall Husqvarna, Mike Brown Husqvarna, Gary Sutherlin - KTM and Taylor Robert - KTM, Sipes has shown incredible speed and consistency.
Hitting his stride immediately, Sipes ended day one as the second overall fastest rider behind team mate Kailub Russell. Day two saw the Husqvarna again finish as overall runner-up, this time behind Australia’s Daniel Milner. On day three Sipes hit the top spot – earing his first outright day win ahead of Milner and France’s Loic Larrieu. But on day four, at a time when many rider’s priority shifts to simply ensuring they get to the end of the event, Sipes delivered his very best result of the event. Topping the outright individual results he finished thirty two seconds up on Daniel Milner.
