The country ’ s best enduro racers are on the home straight , with just the fifth and final round remaining for the 2024 New Zealand Enduro Championships . The fourth round of five in the Yamaha-sponsored series was held near Martinborough on June 8-9 , but the competitors will have to wait until November before the final round can be staged and eventual rankings will be determined . The focus for the riders will now switch briefly to competition overseas , with the big annual International Six Days Enduro ( ISDE ) set for Spain in October , and it is a strong contingent of Kiwis making the journey to compete there . The three-rider junior squad ( restricted to riders aged under 23 ) for the ISDE will comprise Taupo ’ s Wil Yeoman ( Yamaha ), Nelson ’ s Bailey Basalaj ( Honda ) and Omihi ’ s defending national champion Ethan McBreen ( KTM ), while Oparau ’ s James Scott ( Yamaha ), Taupo ’ s Brad Groombridge
