Day 2 saw the same course as day 1 but it was a lot rougher today riders fought a lot of dust. Team USA stayed consistent but Sipes had a big wreck towards the end of the day he was fine though. Baylor was great today Taylor Robert stayed on top of it and Bell had good and bad sections. Australia has now pulled out to a minute and a half lead / USA and Italy is third. Australia lost a rider today due to machine failure so that will be there daily drop from here on out which means they could still win but they can't afford any more mistakes. Tomorrow there will be a new course with much more technical sections and less dust. Team USA should be able to do great again tomorrow.

Interesting to see that the Aussies in 1st and 3rd overall are riders that stay in Australia and do our national competition and beating the riders that do EnduroGP. I know the champ Holcombe isn’t racing but Nambotin, Larrieu and Salvini are good measure!

Australia and USA have become real powerhouses at this event. I think we're possibly seeing a bit of a change due to the increased popularity of hard enduro in europe

Day 3 update Teen USA lost a little bit of time and dropped to 3rd halfway through the day on the new course but they got back up to 2nd and had a strong last test Baylor Robert Sipes were all good today and Bell was just okay still struggling with him somewhat we are now down about two and a half minutes but we have made it halfway so that's good tomorrow brings somewhat of the same course as today Australia cannot afford any mistake because they already have their daily drop used on they're writer who blew up yesterday we will see what happens tomorrow

A good day 4! Team U.S.A. as a team rode great today fast all day we had 1 rough test we are now 5min 50 sec down but this is ISDE and anything can happen 1 more hard test day tomorrow then moto on Saturday Austrialia is FAST but they use their drop right off the start so they can't afford any mistake as you only get one drop a day so these last 2 days should be interesting.

Milner raced GNCCs and Sanders raced world enduro championship before so they are no strangers to high level competition.

To be honest we havent even sent our best team.

Josh Green elected not to go and hes faster than Lyndon Snodgrass and Matt Phillips didnt go due to health reason and he is as quick as Sanders & Milner. Plus if we could get toby price back on small enduro bikes.

Great to see the aussie women leading this will be their 6th straight title if they seal the deal.

Destry took a SLAM to the noggin. Cracked the helmet at the mouth piece. He's beat up but seemingly okay. Out for the event

Bell is doing great for his first time in an ISDE. KR is surely missed though.

KR is missed.

And I can't help but miss KC66 this time of year...Can you imagine that team? Sipes, Robert, Kurt, and Kalub?

Yeah I was surprised to hear that Green decided not to go. I reckon Phillips won’t do another six day again

I think Matt needed some time off and to be back home. It seems like he is going to be greens team mate on three6 motorsports next year.

See how he feels when he is refreshed.

Where did you hear that about lyndons bike? I didnt think the mechanic could touch the bike mechanically except filling it with fluids?

Yeah I’ve been seeing him a bit at home, he seems happy and relaxed. Been in contact with one of the team supporters over in Chile now, I’m not quite sure on the extent what the mechanics can do but it’s what I’ve been told.

Although it's suiting us well, I wish they didn't downsize the senior teams from 6 to 4

KC66 is such a legend. He was phoenominal on and off the track. We dont realize how lucky we are to watch these guys ride until they’re gone.
