The countdown is on for the 2025 International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE), which will take place in Bergamo, Italy from August 24 to 29. With just over a month to go, two of the strongest enduro nations — Italy and Spain — have officially revealed their national teams.
Italy: Chasing Glory at Home
As the host nation, Italy is ready to fight for victory on home soil. The World Trophy Team will be led by EnduroGP World Champion Andrea Verona, racing for GASGAS Factory. He’ll be joined by:
-
Samuele Bernardini (Fantic Factory Racing)
-
Morgan Lesiardo (Triumph Italia Racing)
-
Matteo Pavoni (Fantic Factory Racing)
In the Women’s Trophy, Italy is bringing a strong team with:
-
Francesca Nocera (Honda RedMoto)
-
Sara Traini (Rieju Planet Racing)
-
Asia Volpi (Beta-GTS Motorsport)
For the Junior Trophy, Italy has selected young talents:
-
Kevin Cristino (Fantic), current Junior1 World Champion
-
Alberto Elgari and Manuel Verzeroli (both riding for TM Moto Boano)
Italy will also compete with two Club Teams, Italy A and B. With the home crowd behind them, all eyes will be on the “Azzurri” in Bergamo.
Spain: Josep Garcia Leads a Strong Squad
Spain is coming to Bergamo with high hopes and big names. Leading the World Trophy Team once again is Josep Garcia, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider who has won the individual scratch overall title at the past four ISDE events.
The full team includes:
-
Josep Garcia (Red Bull KTM)
-
Sergio Navarro (Husqvarna)
-
Alejandro Navarro (new to the squad)
-
Julio Pando (Beta Trueba)
Team manager Jaume Betriu, who recently retired from racing, will bring his experience from outside the track.
In the Junior Trophy, Spain will field a new generation of young riders:
-
Albert Fontova (WP Èric Augé)
-
Àlex Puey and Yago Domínguez (Rieju)
However, Spain will not compete in the Women’s Trophy this year, following the retirement of champion rider Mireia Badia. The federation is looking to develop new female talents for the future.
Bergamo Awaits the Battle
With both Italy and Spain bringing world-class riders, the 2025 ISDE is shaping up to be an unforgettable event. It’s not just about national pride — it’s a showdown of the best enduro athletes in the world, right before the 100th anniversary edition in 2026.
