The Isle of Man is unquestionably Britain’s most dominant enduro country at present. Home to three-time world champion of David Knight, the little island nestled between England and Ireland also boasts three rising stars of the Enduro World Championship.

Danny McCanney, Alex Rockwell and Jamie McCanney are quickly establishing themselves as forces to be reckoned with in this year’s Enduro Junior and Youth Cup classes. On day two of GP of Finland both Danny McCanney and Rockwell delivered stunning results to finish first and third respectively in the Enduro Junior class. These results now firmly put both McCanney and Rockwell into third and eighth overall in the championship standings with just one race remaining. Adding to the Manx celebration, Danny’s younger brother Jamie also secured second in the Youth Cup classification to ensure a memorable Finnish GP of the young trio.

Commenting on his maiden victory in the EWC, Danny remarked, “It’s an amazing feeling to have won a race in what is only my first season of EWC. I’ve been trying hard for a result like this and finally it’s happened. With both Alex and Jamie also getting podiums it’s turned out to be a perfect weekend racing.”
