FIM Announces Green Light For 95th International Six Days of Enduro in Italy

With registration now closed, after some delay to help those forced into uncertainty due to the pandemic, the 95th edition of the FIM International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) in Italy has its complete list of entrants. 

The list includes 29 nations present and more than 200 teams, of which 160 will participate in the Club Team Award, plus an entire Italian team of 150 riders.

The Italian authorities’ sanctioning of the race as an official international event means that participants and staff members are exempt from the standard quarantine requirements. However, all other COVID protocols and social distancing rules will still need to be respected.
