Kurt Caselli was very talented on a dirt bike and equally at home in many genres of racing, including desert racing, WORCS, and his new endeavor, rally racing. However, he had a special love for ISDE, and he was generally recognized as one of the leaders of the U.S. effort. Caselli mentored the new members of the team each year, and he was particularly pleased with the U.S. Trophy Team’s runner-up finish this year in Sardinia, saying “I’ve been doing this a long time so it’s good to have some rewards.”

Sardinia was Caselli’s final Six Days, so here’s a look at Caselli in Sardinia.

Kurt was especially good at mentoring the young riders. Here he “goofs” with Zach Osbrone, who was making his first appearance at the ISDE.

Team members looked up to Kurt for leadership at Six Days.

The paddocks for the Sardinia event were set on a commercial port in Olbia were commercial ships came in and out every day. Here Caselli poses on one of the many tub boats that serviced the large ships.
