For Prospective ISDE Competitors
March 11, 2010, 2:31pm
The 2010 International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) Nov. 1-6 in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico, according to ISDE organizer Luis Otero, is allowing a reduced number of approved riders from each participating country compared to previous years. While AMA Racing originally requested an allowance of 40 riders, the across-the-board reduction has resulted in a final rider count of 34.
This reduction will change how the teams are selected from the preliminary procedures already distributed. As a result, new revised procedures are available at AMARacing.com > Featured Series & Events > International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) Qualifiers (http://home.ama-cycle.org/raceresults/typeindex.asp?s=63&year=2010).
Below is the statement from Otero explaining this decision:
"We reduced all team requests, except the FMNs with three Club Teams or less. The main reason for reducing the total teams was to continue with our philosophy and our program to have two laps and 3 time checks plus the Paddock. We could have accepted all the Preliminary Entries, but that would take us to one big loop and more Time Checks, increasing the logistics and costs for everyone."
