ISDE 2025 Day 3 Results: Team Italy & Josep Garcia on Top | Team USA Women Dominate World Trophy
As Day 3 of the 2025 International Six Days of Enduro comes to a close, it is becoming more and more definitive who the front runners are for the rest of the week.
Entering Day 3 action, the riders were faced with a new route and new special tests to tackle during the day’s racing. When it was all said and done, the key players once again proved why they are the best in the world. Josep Garcia would take five out of the six special test wins on the day, and take the outright day win once again, extending his margin by eight seconds. Despite a miscue in the early part of Test 2 on the Scalvina endurocross track, providing his only test loss of the day, the Spaniard rallied back to solidify his place atop the leaderboard. Italy’s André Verona would capture the Test 2 win, and claim second overall honors for the day. Third for the afternoon, fifty two seconds off the pace of Garcia would be Sweden’s Mikael Persson. Italy would claim spots four and five for the afternoon via Samuéle Bernadini, and Morgan Lesiardo. Sixth would be the top Junior rider for the afternoon, France’s Léo Joyon, with French Trophy rider Leo Le Quere taking seventh scratch for the day. Sweden’s Albin Norbin would take eighth ahead of France’s Julien Roussaly, with top American honors belonging to Danté Oliveira, rounding out the top ten for the day’s racing.
The American contingent of riders didn’t have the best outing on Day 3. After Oliveira’s top ten, Johnny Girroir would finish the day sixteenth scratch. Grant Davis, after suffering rear tire issues early in the morning, could only net a twenty-seventh place finish for the afternoon. Cody Barnes would take thirty-third place, while Josh Toth suffered a crash that split open his elbow that would get fixed up at the end of the day. Toth would finish just behind Barnes in thirty fourth. Cooper Jones in his first year as a Junior Trophy rider would claim fifty ninth on Day 3, while Mateo Oliveira after a rough Scalvina test in the morning action, would finish the day seventy fourth overall.
