Australia’s all-conquering FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) Women’s team are targeting a fifth-straight victory next week in Brive, France.

The world champion team of Jess Gardiner, Tayla Jones and Jemma Wilson have all enjoyed a strong lead-up to the ISDE and will enter as the favourites in the 2017 edition.

“I have been spending a bit of time in France this year competing throughout Europe, so I am really looking forward to compete in my adopted country,” explained European-based Gardiner. “I’m super-excited to be reunited with our Australian girls team, whom are all on separate continents right now. Looking forward to seeing all the Australian crew and doing our best to secure our fifth world championship title together!”

Tayla Jones, who has been cleaning up in the Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro Series in the United States this year and leading the Women’s Pro overall standings, also cannot wait to defend the title.

“I can’t wait to head over to France to try make it out fifth world title in a row,” Jones said. “I am feeling really good on the bike and I know Jess and Jemma are also killing it, so it’s going to be a good race. I’ve seen several pictures of the tracks that have started being set up, and they look awesome, I’m excited to get there and start racing,” Jones shared.

Jemma Wilson, after taking out the Women’s Yamaha AORC title, is in stunning form and ready to compete at the ISDE alongside Gardiner and Jones.

“I have stayed in Australia all this season and I am really looking forward to heading over to France,” Wilson commented. “Tayla and Jess have been phenomenal in America and Europe all year and I have enjoyed the AORC season. We all appear to be ready to go for five in a row! Thanks to Yamaha and Motorcycling Australia for making it possible!”
