The 2008 ISDE is now over and has been a great race. The US Trophy Team wound up on the podium after an exciting Day 6 Final Moto. Ricky Dietrich played it safe and finished in second position behind Ivan Cervantes of Spain in the E1 moto. Nathan Woods, Jimmy Jarrett and Destry Abbott were all in the final E2 moto and they had their sites on beating the Fins, especially Juha Salminen. Woods started from the back of the pack of the road racing grid style start and crashed in the first turn slightly damaging himself and the bike. They had a restart and luckily he was able to get back in it. Abbott crashed into Salminen and luckily got back going again. Juha didn’t fair so well and was out of the race with a broken throttle cable. This guaranteed the US Trophy Team the spot on the podium that had barely slipped away the day before.

The Trophy Team loses third podium position and must do well in the final moto in order to make it on the podium. Its gonna all come down to the final moto to see if USA can get on the podium. The US team has some really good MX guys and it shouldn’t be too hard to get their spot back. We have some great video footage for you to watch today.

The end of day 3 in the International Six Days Enduro from Greece marks the half way point in the race and what a day it was. First off Nathan Woods is on fire again and won the MX test twice, pretty impressive considering that this is his first Six Days. The big news today is that Kurt Caselli is out of the race. On the first loop he crashed really hard on the first time through the enduro test and knocked himself out. He doesn’t remember what happen and rode the rest of the loop in a daze. Luckily Ricky Dietrich was there to ride with him on the way back. Dietrich stayed with him the whole way back to make sure that he made it.

Here are some video highlights from the day.

Day 2 is in the books and the US Trophy Team is holding on to third position. Kurt Caselli was penalized one minute for going off course in a special test and not re-entering in the same spot. He argued that it was not safe to enter in the same section of banner where he went off because of spectators that were there. He was successful in getting the 5 minute penalty down to one. Nathan Woods was on fire and trying to make up time. He won the first motocross test both times around.
