The Trophy team will consist of Steve Holcombe, Brad Freeman, Danny McCanney and Joe Wootton. Juniors: Dan Mundell, Alex Walton and Jed Etchells. Women: Jane Daniels, Rosie Rowett and Nieve Holmes. Team manager Daryl Bolter memorably summed up the ISDE in a single word "expensive" and competing against the World's best is not cheap but Great Britain invented the Six Days and we currently boast the World's finest riders so please support the teams and remind the World what makes Britain "Great".
