American Motorcyclist Association announces U.S. Women’s World Trophy Team and club team racers for 2015 International Six Days Enduro
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — A roster of 21 competitors representing the U.S. Women’s Trophy Team and six AMA club teams are chasing gold medals at the 2015 International Six Days Enduro in Kosice, Slovakia, Sept. 7-12.
The Women’s World Trophy Team fields three top American riders: Rachel Gutish, Mandi Mastin and Jamie Wells. The female racers join the previously announced U.S. World Trophy Team of Mike Brown, Thad Duvall, Taylor Robert, Kailub Russell, Ryan Sipes and Gary Sutherlin, as well as the U.S. Junior Trophy Team of Grant Baylor, Steward Baylor, Justin Jones and Layne Michael.
“We are fortunate to be able to send not only three trophy teams, but also six club teams to represent the U.S. in off-road international competition,” said Chuck Weir, AMA off-road racing manager. “These riders are among the top in the nation and display great athleticism while competing against countries from around the world.”
“I love going to the different countries, riding different terrain and seeing different atmospheres,” said Mastin, selected for the Women’s World Trophy Team for the ninth consecutive year. “Representing the U.S. is also a big honor. I’m looking forward to getting back to a real European Six Days. I actually think it is going to be kind of like Ohio, terrain-wise.”
