Rachel Gutish

Already a four-time FIM gold medallist through her heroics as a member of the USA’s dominant Women’s World Trophy Team in the 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations, Rachel Gutish made history this season when she became the first American rider to win an individual FIM Enduro World Championship.

For a nation with such a strong off-road heritage, it is hard to believe that individual gold has eluded American riders until this year and Gutish has been deservedly hailed as a hero in the USA.

Consistency is key in any championship campaign and the twenty-nine-year-old from Indiana – a silver medalist last season – barely put a wheel wrong across the four-round series. A pair of second-placed finishes at the opening round in Portugal established a solid foundation from which to build and she matched these results when the series travelled to Great Britain for round two.

For round three she returned to Portugal where she claimed her first win of the season on day one to move into a championship lead that she extended on day two with a solid second and when the championship signed off in Germany in October, Gutish clinched the crown in style with a dominant double win.
