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.
