Steve Holcombe forced to withdraw from 2019 ISDE
By Team TMX on 22nd Oct 19
Beta Factory Racings Steve Holcombe has been forced to withdraw from the 2019 FIM International Six Days Enduro being held in Portimao, Portugal, on November 11-16.
Set to return to the event for the first time since 2013, Steve collided with a tree while testing in Italy a little over a week ago, injuring his right shoulder.
Following the advice of a number of specialists and having discussed his situation with Great Britain ISDE Team Manager Daryl Bolter, Steve has regretfully withdrawn himself from Great Britains World Trophy Team and has already begun rehabilitation on his injured shoulder.
Steve wishes everyone representing Great Britain at this years ISDE all the very best.
Steve Holcombe: Im gutted that Im not going to be competing for Great Britain at this years ISDE, but its the only decision thats fair on the team and myself. Carrying a shoulder injury into a six-day event makes no sense at all. Returning to the Six Days after so many years was something that I was really looking forward to, I guess Ill just have to wait one more year and race the 2020 ISDE in Italy. I wish the team and everyone whos supporting the team all the very best.
