After a busy week of preparation in Silleda, the FIM International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) finally got down to racing for day one. Wasting no time easing the five-hundred-and-forty plus competitors from over thirty nations into proceedings, today was a physically demanding day in the saddle.
While the rain stayed away, conditions were soft and the terrain quickly chewed up. With riders completing six special tests and two laps of the one-hundred-and-twenty-five-kilometre Santiago loop, it was clear come the end of day one that this year’s NOCO FIM 6DAYS® will be a true enduro challenge.
