People involved.
It couldn’t be done without them: helpers, organizers, marshals and many other people from the GS community. With their experiences they make the Int. GS Trophy an unforgettable motorcycle adventure – and take on the challenges in the background. We have a look behind the scenes and present a selection of important people who are more than passionate about the event.

There is no doubt that the Int. GS Trophy inspires greatness. Just ask Amy Harburg. First a competitor in the inaugural female team in 2016, followed by instructor certification and then selection for marshal duties in 2018. Not content with these significant achievements, the determined Australian was planning on riding thousands of kilometres to this year’s finals on a G 310 GS— and then continuing her journey onwards all the way from Mongolia to Munich.
