Joe Wootton appointed new Head Coach for Great Britain ISDE team

Team Great Britain have appointment Joe Wootton as Head Coach within the ACU British International Six Days Enduro Team aiming for the podium at ISDE 2025 in Italy this August.

Joe Wootton steps back into a frame after several years recovering from injury to take on the challenge and help the current generation of British enduro talent ahead of the 99th ISDE in Bergamo, Italy, this August. 

The 29-year-old from Welshpool will adopt a slightly new role within Team GB’s existing Management Team, however. The role of 'Head Coach' replaces the previous role of Team Manager, “reflecting the needs of the modern era of professional factory riders”, the team explains.

While the wider Management Team will focus on fundraising, sponsorship, and logistics, Joe’s role will be to support our riders to perform at their best with the goal of Team GB securing a place on the podium at Bergamo.

Joe Wootton: “After years of focusing solely on myself and my own riding, I’m excited to give back to the sport and ensure the riders representing Team GB have the best chance of success. I can’t wait to get started and I think we have a lot of talent to choose from to pull together the best teams possible for this year’s ISDE in Italy.” 

First riding at age 10, Joe participated in cross-country events before moving to timecard enduro at 17. Under the guidance of Welsh Enduro legend Wyn Hughes, Wootton joined the Freestyle team in 2014 and went on to achieve success in the British Enduro Championship.

Joe has represented Great Britain at the ISDE three times (2015, 2017 & 2019) and distinguished himself with podiums in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship. 

Team GB thank Joe’s predecessors, Jamie Lewis and Daryl Bolter, for their incredible work in recent years and say they look forward to working with Joe to build upon Daryll and Jamie’s building blocks for the future.
