Running gun battles between drug cartels in the area have forced the organising committee of the 85th FIM International Six Days Enduro to cancel the final day of the competition, a decision that has been fully supported by the FIM Jury.

No one involved in the event has been effected in any way by the actions that occurred in the region overnight. These actions were in no way connected to the event and took place some considerable distance from the host city of Morelia.

The decision has been taken to ensure the safety and security of all persons involved with the event and of the spectators due to watch the final motocross test.

Results as of the end of day five, most of which were already clear and decisive, will now be declared as the final official results of the 85th edition of the FIM International Six Days Enduro.

The prize giving ceremony will take place as originally planned in the city of Morelia.

With the sixth day of the 2010 FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) having been cancelled, the results after day five have now been used to determine the official and final classifications.

In the World Trophy contest the French Team of Johnny Aubert (KTM) E2; Nicolas Deparrois (Kawasaki) E2; Seb Guillaume (Husqvarna) E3 (pictured above); Antoine Meo (Husqvarna) E1; Rodrig Thain (TM) E2; and Christophe Nambotin (Gas Gas) E3 were triumphant.
