Dirt Store ISDE Team GB has officially confirmed the 10 riders who will represent Great Britain at the 99th edition of the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), set to take place in Bergamo, Italy from August 24-29, 2025.
The three teams – Men’s World Trophy, Women’s World Trophy, and Junior World Trophy – feature a blend of world-class experience, rising talent, and proven performers, all focused on bringing more silverware home to Britain.
The 2025 Men’s Trophy Team will be Harry Edmondson, Jack Edmondson, Jed Etchells and Alex Walton, with Max Ingham as Reserve Rider.
This team brings together a highly experienced and competitive lineup for the 2025 ISDE. Harry Edmondson returns aboard the Fast Eddy Racing Triumph TF 250-E, following a strong winter in SuperEnduro and solid results at the opening EnduroGP rounds – motivated for redemption after his 2024 ISDE campaign was cut short. Jack Edmondson, riding for PAR Homes Enduro Team on a GASGAS 250F, is currently enjoying a strong run of form domestically and brings both momentum and reliability to the squad. Jed Etchells, a key part of the 2022 winning team and 2023 podium finisher, races full-time for Fantic Factory Enduro Team in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship and will line up on a Fantic 250F. Alex Walton, a consistent ISDE performer and full-time EnduroGP rider with JET Triumph Zanardo, adds further depth to the team aboard a Triumph 250 F, having delivered strong results across both British and international events this season.
Making up the Women’s Trophy Team is Nieve Holmes, Elizabeth Tett and Katie Walker, with Emily Hall as Reserve Rider.
The Women’s Trophy Team heads to Italy with a trio of fast, proven riders ready to challenge the world’s best. Nieve Holmes, riding for Team KBS Sherco aboard a Sherco SEF 250 4T, brings unmatched consistency and experience, currently third in the FIM Women’s Enduro World Championship and undefeated in both British and Welsh championships so far in 2025. This will be Nieve’s sixth ISDE, with two podiums and a 2022 victory to her name. Elizabeth Tett, representing Electraction TM Moto Enduro Team on a TM 250F, leads the FIM Junior Women’s Enduro World Cup after a dominant double win in Portugal and returns for her third ISDE following a strong performance last year in Spain. Katie Walker, riding a GASGAS 250F for PAR Homes Enduro Team, has shown impressive pace in the British and Welsh championships this season and is expected to bring confident, consistent riding to complete the well-rounded team.
Finally, the Junior Trophy Team will be Sam Davies, Callum Hughes and Sam Hughes, with Alfie Webb as Reserve Rider.
The Junior Trophy Team combines youth, speed, and growing international experience as they aim to make their mark in Bergamo. Sam Davies, riding a GASGAS MC 250F for PAR Homes Enduro Team and WP Eric Auge, brings strong form from the FIM Junior Enduro World Championship and two previous ISDE finishes, alongside standout results in both British and Welsh competition. Callum Hughes, the youngest rider on the squad at just 18, will make his ISDE debut aboard a Beta 250 RR, having already impressed in both national championships and the EnduroGP series this season. Sam Hughes, representing WP Eric Auge on a KTM 4T, returns after an outstanding ISDE debut in 2024 where he was the top British junior, and continues to shine in the FIM Youth Enduro World Championship and at home in the UK.
In recent years, Dirt Store ISDE Team GB has established itself as a force on the international stage. The Women’s Trophy Team secured consecutive podium finishes in 2019, 2021, and 2022, culminating in a historic double victory at the 2022 ISDE in France, where both the Men’s and Women’s teams topped the podium. In 2023, the Men’s Trophy Team added to the medal tally with a hard-fought bronze in Argentina. While injury forced an early exit for the Men’s team in 2024, Steve Holcombe delivered an exceptional individual performance – winning the E2 class and finishing second overall.
With this year’s squads focused, prepared, and more determined than ever, Team GB is ready to take on the world’s most prestigious offroad competition and chase further success for Great Britain. The team would like to extend a huge thank to you to all our dedicated sponsors, including Title Sponsor Dirt Store, as well as NOCO and Bennetts Insurance.
Joe Wootton – Head Coach: “I’m confident this group of riders will deliver a strong performance. The Men’s team all have valuable experience racing on Italian hard pack and rocky terrain, and their results so far this year speak for themselves. With three of the four having World Championship titles to their names – and two riders competing full-time for Italian teams in 2025 – we head into this event with genuine confidence. As for the Junior team, I’m excited to see how this mix of seasoned athletes and fresh talent comes together. These lads have the skill, speed, and drive to be serious contenders, and I believe they can achieve something special. What’s impressed me most is the team’s professionalism off the bike and the dedication they’re already putting into this campaign. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this journey. With my own experience at the top level – including multiple podiums and a world title – I’ll be doing everything I can to help give these riders the best possible chance of success.”
Alex Jones – Women’s Team Manager: “It is an incredible honour to be part of such a dynamic and talented group of athletes, and I truly believe that we are a strong and well-prepared team with immense potential to excel on the international stage. Our team is not only comprised of skilled riders, but we also share a deep commitment to supporting one another and fostering a positive team environment. As we look forward to the competition in Italy, my hopes for our team are high. We are prepared to embrace every opportunity to showcase our skills, determination, and teamwork. I believe we can make a significant impact during the event, and I am excited to see how we will perform together as a cohesive unit. I want to take this moment to extend my gratitude to our coaches, support staff, sponsors, and everyone who has believed in us and contributed to our journey. Your unwavering support has strengthened our resolve and motivated us to reach new heights.”
Tim Lightfoot – President, ACU: “The ISDE is the single biggest event in the enduro calendar for which there is no greater honour than being selected to represent your country. With the ACU British Enduro and the ISDE programme going from strength to strength, our new Team GB Head Coach, Joe Wootton, and Women’s Team Manager, Alex Jones, have been working hard to select the strongest possible teams for this year’s event in Italy. We are delighted to see that Team GB will again be made up of world class talent, who along with a fantastic support crew will be taking on the world’s best.”
