<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tFormer World Enduro Champion Jamie McCanney steps back from EnduroGP competition after 14 years and takes up new rider coach role with the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team.<\/p>\n
Manxman Jamie McCanney has called time on his world championship racing career \u2013 but crucially not racing altogether \u2013 and will take up a new role as Rider Coach for the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team.<\/p>\n
McCanney, who can boast career highs including Youth and Junior World Championship titles, British Enduro and International Six Days Enduro winner\u2019s medals, joined Triumph at the start of 2025 to race in E1 at world level, helping the team achieve several milestones during its debut year.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter 14 years of racing at world championship level, I feel the time is right to pass the baton to the next generation and focus my energy on helping others achieve their goals.\u201d Says Jamie. \u201cIt\u2019s never an easy decision to step away from competing in EnduroGP, but I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve achieved and incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout my career. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo finish my professional racing journey representing such an iconic British brand has been a privilege, and I couldn\u2019t think of a better way to close that chapter than with Triumph. \u201cNow, I\u2019m excited to begin this new role as Rider Coach with the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team. My focus will be on supporting our riders day-to-day, both in training and at the races, helping them perform at their best and continue pushing the development of our TF 250-E and TF 450-E machines.\u201d <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking to Enduro21, Jamie told us he has every intention of defending his British Enduro title in 2026 and hopes to race some of the events he has traditionally excelled at including the French Classic races like Trefle Lozerien and Aveyronnaise Classic where he can\u00a0showcase the TF 450-E model.<\/p>\n
As for the Triumph Racing Enduro\u00a0team in 2026, Mikael Persson is expected to be joined by a new teammate\u00a0in EnduroGP next year with an official announcement due once the rider sees out his current contract.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rider support programme at Triumph Racing<\/p>\n
In his new role, Jamie will provide day-to-day rider support, ensuring the team\u2019s riders have everything they need to perform at their best, both in training and throughout the racing season. He will be a key link between riders and management, helping guide them through their preparation and the unique demands of EnduroGP competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot over the years \u2013 from the highs of world titles to the challenges of injuries \u2013 and I want to use that experience to guide and support the team. A chapter has closed, but a new and exciting one has opened, and I can\u2019t wait to see what we can achieve together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Eddy\u2019s right-hand man<\/p>\n
Jamie\u2019s appointment also allows Team Manager Paul Edmondson to focus more resources on the overall development of the team, while providing riders with a dedicated point of contact for performance and training. This mirrors a structure used in other racing disciplines, where experienced racers like Cl\u00e9ment Desalle have transitioned into similar roles.<\/p>\n
Paul Edmondson \u2013 Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager: \u201cI\u2019m really happy to continue my journey with Jamie, both as a friend and now as our Rider Coach for next season. He brings so much knowledge, experience and passion for the sport, and that will be a huge benefit for the team and the riders as we continue to grow and push forward. <\/p>\n
\u201cJamie has been at the highest level for many years, he understands the pressures, the preparation and what it takes to compete week-in, week-out, so having someone like that supporting our riders day-to-day will make a real difference. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll also continue to ride and defend his British Enduro Championship title on the TF 450-E, which is great for us in terms of ongoing development of the bike. This is a natural step in his career, and an exciting one for the team, and I\u2019m really looking forward to working closely with him in this new role as we head into 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ian Kimber \u2013 Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles: \u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to retain Jamie\u2019s services and bring him on board in a new role for the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro team. We\u2019d like to congratulate him on his career and retirement from racing GPs, and we know he\u2019s excited to take on this next challenge. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn line with the structure we have in some of our other factory teams, and in other sports, we recognised that bringing a talent such as Jamie into the team to support the riders would be really advantageous. Jamie knows what it takes to compete at the top level, and this also allows Paul and the team to evolve day-to-day operations while the riders have Jamie\u2019s full support. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to his Rider Coach role, Jamie will continue working on our 450 development programme and compete in the domestic series, providing us with valuable feedback on the TF 450-E as we work on our future racing programme and OEM development of the higher-capacity machine. We\u2019re really pleased with all of the success that our enduro teams have had this year, our first season racing in this segment \u2013 it really has been incredible – and look forward to seeing what we can do in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
