Kiwi Rider November 2024 Vol.2 | Page 66

By the end of Day Three ’ s racing , Garcia held a 28-second lead at the top of the standings . He then increased that advantage on Days Four and Five , winning all but one test on both days in the demanding conditions , to enter the final motocross on Day Six with a 1m 14s lead . The sixth and final day of the 2024 ISDE saw the traditional final motocross test take place in horrendous conditions . With rain falling throughout the day , the track became more and more cut-up , with flooded areas and deep ruts appearing . Despite taking part in the final race of the day , Garcia mastered the mud to move into the lead on lap two and carry that position to the flag . On crossing the line , Garcia confirmed his place in the history books , securing a record-breaking fourth consecutive individual win at the iconic ISDE . The New Zealand ISDE campaign was supported by Ward Demolition , MJH Engineering Ltd , FIM Oceania , Macaulay Metals , Signbiz , Kiwi Rider Magazine , Silver-Bullet , New Plymouth Underwater , Hirepool and Motorcycling New Zealand .
