Sanders forced to withdraw from Team Australia at ISDE

Motorcycling Australia are today announcing that GasGas Factory rider Daniel ”Chucky” Sanders has withdrawn from Team Australia for the 2022 International Six Day Enduro Enduro (ISDE).
This situation has come about due to the unavailability of suitable machinery for Sanders intended class for the ISDE. Sanders has made significant efforts to attempt to make the ISDE for 2022 a possibility.
Fellow Victorian Andy Wilksch will step in for Sanders. Former EnduroGP Rider Wilksch is coming off a successful Australian Four Day Enduro event where he finished second in the big bore E3 class. In the Australian Off-Road Championship, Wilksch currently leads the E3 class.

Weird, even as a last resort ,cant they just use a KTM,Husky and throw some GG plastics at it , obviously Frogs dont have any rentals left, or bad organising at GG , stuffing your own suspension and engine in the hand luggage is pretty normal anyways .

Seems pretty weird for a guy who rides Dakar for Gas Gas. They might not let him do these types of events?

Yeah Im with Pete, its like .....
'Nah we can't make it to the family barby tmrw arvo, as I'm dble booked. yeah due to shampoo the centre console on the Commodore'

Internal moto politics / maybe contract clauses, such as event date clashes, Rallye team starts testing in or around Sept....
Or
The Froggies pulling rank at Mattighoffen.

This ISDE will still be a great knock em down drag 'em out battle with the French.

Even with the Snr Trophy minus Chuckey, Wilksch is a more than good replacement.
His current form is great, made recent speed gains at this level
and has recent Euro experience from last year.

So Im all in with the 3 Aust teams we are more than a chance to take em all.

Gas Gas (used to) build great bikes. I had an ec300 for years and its the best bike I've ever owned.
Management, on the other hand, apparently dont know their left hand from their right. Its always siesta time in Barcelona(?).

Remember the GG employees were dressing up dummies in KTM gear ,hanging them from light poles and setting them on fire ,before the takeover. [There was some pictures floating around at the time] . Taste of blood ,unionistic blood.

GG don't make a 500. Think he was offered a 300 t/s but did not want to ride it.

Yes, it's a smoker, but it's got a button... and enough HP to carry the weight of his balls.
