2025 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) day five results from Bergamo where the Italian World and Junior Trophy teams are on the verge of victory but the French Juniors continue the fight with just the final Cross Test tomorrow, day six.

The 2025 International Six Days Enduro is nearly over already, how did that happen? For the riders it feels like a lifetime since they prepared for the first day last Sunday. For the rest of us after another awesome day of action in the tests – despite the rain – we don’t want it to be over.

Day five dawned with Josep Garcia setting new fashion trends for wet weather gear and facing just four tests in total as day four’s finale, set to be test one today, proved a bit of a nightmare for some of the Club riders so they canned it.

Organisers also adjusted parts of the remaining tests, straightening lines out in places to let the riders see fresh grass where they’d already raced the day earlier.

It was still mighty slick however and, like day one, riding meant sliding for much of the day except in the river and mistakes were easy.

The story of the day is Josep Garcia took another day win despite riding with nine fingers. The Italian World Trophy team are eyeing the ultimate prize, now with eight minutes advantage heading to tomorrow’s Cross test. The Italian Juniors are feeling the heat from France and will feel the pressure tomorrow unlike the American Women’s Trophy team who maintain over half an hour advantage.

World Trophy corks ready to pop

With almost eight minutes on the clock advantage, the Italian World Trophy team can unwind the wire from the champagne corks, at least. Another tricky day in the tests successfully mastered by the quartet meant a slight extension of their time gap to 7:54 and comfy cushion with just a single test to ride tomorrow.

Similarly, the Swedish team can sleep well tonight with their near two-minute advantage of the French men’s team as this podium looks all but over bar the shouting.

But with just half a minute in it, USA and Spain still have to settle the score for the overall top five and it will be worth watching the timing sheets tomorrow for this one.

Fractions seperate Garcia and Verona again

How close is it between Josep Garcia and Andrea Verona again? There were four tests today and three of them saw the Farioli “teammates” separated by less than a second. It’s nuts.

After Verona slid off the side of his bike for a few seconds in test one, it was another one ticked off for Josep who has virtually collected his fifth-straight scratch victory at the ISDE. The Red Bull KTM rider has a 40-seconds overall advantage after five days of enduro, although he is riding with 10 stiches in a finger (he told us) but you wouldn’t know it.

As he finishes third scratch for the third day in a row, Mikael Persson looks to have run out of days to claim third overall as the second best Italian all week on the RedMoto Honda, Samuele Bernadini, has ridden exceptionally consistently to lay claim for that honour.

Fourth today scratch was the flying Kawasaki of Kyron Bacon who is sitting pretty as the best placed Aussie and highest ranked Junior in P9 overall on the KX300.

Bernadini completes the top five scratch on day five ahead of Johnny Girroir, who continues to get stronger as the week progresses, Morgan Lesiardo seventh, Grant Davis eighth, the old mud master Josh Strang in ninth and Kevin Cristino P10 to lead the Italian Juniors.

Time to get twitchy in the Juniors 

The Junior category remains tight and those Frenchies are not giving up the chase on Italy. The gap is 59 seconds which, on a normal day, should mean the Italian’s are good for gold but with the conditions expected to be wet again, and a few nerves maybe, it could be a nail-biter between the Tricolore trio and Les Bleus.

The Australian Juniors have a podium in the bag barring disaster with a two-and-a-half-minute gap to France but nine minutes to the USA boys in fourth and Spain completing the top five.

Give USA Women street tyres tomorrow

It turns out it was too slippery for the USA Women to ride one-handed today, which was our suggestion to spice things up a bit as the dominant Americans round out the week of enduro tests with more than half an hour in their pockets. Maybe they should tomorrow’s Cross test with street tyres fitted? They’d probably still win.

The Aussie girls have all-but assured themselves a silver medal here with a five-minute advantage now to the French team aiming to join them on the podium in the bronze position.

Club Trophy

Things are just as settled in the Club Trophy category with the MC Italian A team now five minutes clear after a very convincing team effort.

Making a mid-week claim for P2, the USA boys in team Rabaconda are set with a two-minute gap to BBM Racing Time Italian team third – the team which includes Thomas Oldrati racing his last of many ISDEs (he says…) before retirement.
