2025 British Enduro Championship: Persson puts Triumph Racing on top
Mickael Persson and Jamie McCanney make a dominant start for the new Triumph Factory Race Team at rounds one and two of the 2025 ACU British Enduro Championship in Scotland.
Rounds one and two of the British Championship headed to Scotland and the sandy terrain by the sea at Lossiemouth for the opening weekend of the 2025 British enduro Championship.
The riders were really pushed physically on the tough and relentless dry dunes and pine forest across the Easter weekend with plenty of bike time and a few sore muscles heading home afterwards.
Split into two rounds across two days, the season welcomed Triumph Motorcycles official race team for the first time and it was a historic debut for factory riders Mikael Persson and Jamie McCanney who took dominant one-two result on both days.
Swedish rider Persson was comfortably ahead of his teammate, by 23 seconds on day one and stretching that out to 46 seconds on day two.
Jamie had a bigger fight on his hands on day two as Jack Edmondson on the PAR Homes GASGAS and his Harry Edmondson on the Fast Eddy Racing Triumph both pushed all the way in the fight for the podium. In the end it was Jack Eddie who put the Honda on the final podium place each day with Harry consistent in fourth followed by Fantic Factory Racing’s Jed Etchells and Jolly Racing Team’s Alex Walton completing the top five each day respectively (and made it four Triumphs in the top five on the day).
In the Elite Women’s class, Neive Holmes showed her class with a commanding win aboard Kiwi’s Bike Shop Sherco, finishing ahead of Libby Tett on the TM UK machine.
The Expert class saw a standout performance from Jack Keenan of the Isle of Man, who took the top spot ahead of Fraiser Lampkin who made a solid debut in the Experts this year.
