The United States Women’s World Trophy team has completed a dominant hat-trick at the 99th FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Bergamo, Italy, securing their third consecutive Women’s World

Trophy and a record-equalling sixth title overall.

Riders Brandy Richards (KTM), Korie Steede (Husqvarna) and Rachel Gutish (Rieju) controlled the week from the opening day, building a gap of more than 35 minutes over Australia and over 40 minutes on France by the closing Final Cross Test. Their victory now puts the USA level with Australia on six Women’s World Trophy wins since the category was introduced in 2007.

The six-day event, held from 24–29 August 2025 in the mountains and valleys around Bergamo, delivered classic enduro terrain – slick tests in the rain early in the week, followed by faster, rougher specials as the course dried out. Through it all, the American trio remained unbeaten in the daily Women’s World Trophy standings, underlining their status as the benchmark in off-road women’s competition.

Individually, Brandy Richards once again topped the women’s time sheets, extending her remarkable ISDE record, while Steede backed her up in second and Gutish finished inside the top four overall after six gruelling days. Their combined pace and consistency left their rivals with no real answer.

  2. Korie Steede (USA, Husqvarna)
  3. Danielle McDonald (Australia, Yamaha)
  4. Rachel Gutish (USA, Rieju)
  5. Shelby Turner (Canada, GASGAS)

Behind the Americans, Australia fought off a strong challenge from France to secure the runner-up spot, with Italy and Great Britain rounding out the top five. Canada also impressed with a solid ride into the top six, followed by Slovakia, Chile and Germany.

Women’s World Trophy: a cornerstone of the ISDE

The FIM Women’s World Trophy was introduced to the ISDE in 2007 as an official world team competition for women, sitting alongside the World Trophy and Junior World Trophy classifications.

Since then, the title has been shared between just four nations – Australia, France, the United States and Great Britain – underlining how fiercely contested and prestigious it has become. From the early French dominance, through Australia’s six-title streak between 2013 and 2018, to the USA’s current run of success, the Women’s World Trophy has grown into one of the most compelling stories of the ISDE. fim-isde.com+1

With the 100th edition of the 6DAYS set for Portugal in 2026, the stage is now set for another milestone year – and for the USA, an opportunity to chase a fourth consecutive Women’s World Trophy crown while edging ahead on the all-time honours list.
