The 2025 International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) is set to take place from August 24th to 29th in Bergamo, Italy. As anticipation builds, Team Australia has officially announced its lineup for the Women’s World Trophy, confirming the return of its experienced and high-performing trio.
After securing second place in the 2024 edition, Jessica Gardiner, Tayla Jones, and Danielle McDonald will once again represent Australia in Italy. The team is aiming to claim the title and arrives with a mix of experience, determination, and recent form.
Jessica Gardiner: The veteran leader
A staple of the Australian team, Jessica Gardiner brings invaluable experience to the squad. A multiple ISDE medalist and national champion, Gardiner’s leadership and consistency make her one of the cornerstones of the Australian effort.
Danielle McDonald: Rising star with big potential
Trained for years by Gardiner herself, Danielle McDonald has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in enduro. After recovering from an injury, she has already claimed a podium in the GNCC Women’s class in the United States. Her return to form is perfectly timed for this prestigious international event.
Tayla Jones: Back in top form
With one of the most impressive records in women’s enduro, Tayla Jones is back at full strength after an injury kept her from showing her full potential in 2024. Now fighting for wins in both the GNCC and US Sprint Enduro Series, Jones looks ready to help lead Australia to the top of the podium.
A competitive team ready for Bergamo
Team Australia’s selection for the 2025 ISDE Women’s Trophy confirms its ambitions. With three podium-capable riders in top shape, Australia is clearly one of the favorites for the title. The team will also face stiff competition, including local rider Francesca Nocera, who will be representing Italy on home soil.
