Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jamie McCanney was crowned 2025 British Enduro Champion at the Castle Hill Estate in North Devon, as the team secured an impressive 1-2 finish with Mikael Persson in their debut year.

Across an eight-round season held at venues in Scotland, North Yorkshire, Mid Wales, and Devon, Jamie McCanney clinched the BEC title ahead of teammate Mikael Persson, delivering a landmark result for the British manufacturer.

Mikael was dominant from the very start, winning six rounds in a row to establish a commanding lead. However, following an injury sustained at the EnduroGP of Portugal, the decision was made for him to sit out the final rounds of the British Championship to recover ahead of the EnduroGP of Italy next weekend.

Jamie had pushed his teammate hard all year, finishing runner-up at each of the six rounds, and arrived in North Devon with the championship in reach. On Saturday, in tough conditions, McCanney took victory by 20 seconds ahead of Daniel Mundell to secure the title with one day to spare.

Jamie McCanney: “I’m really happy to win the British Enduro Championship! Obviously, it’s unfortunate that Mikael couldn’t be here but I’m pleased to wrap up the title for the team. With a British manufacturer and myself as a British rider, it feels great for us to take the win in our first year. It’s been 10 years since I last won this championship, so that’s cool! The whole team have been amazing and this is just the beginning of our success for sure!”

Persson’s six victories placed him second, despite missing the final weekend, making an impressive campaign for the two riders, the Triumph TF 250-E and the Triumph Racing team in their debut season.

Mikael Persson: “It’s a tough one to accept, not being able to race the last rounds and claim the title after such a strong year in the series. However, the focus is EnduroGP and it was the right decision for me to sit this one out so I can recover as much as possible for next weekend in Italy. I’m really happy for Jamie and of course the whole team for taking the win, as they’ve done an amazing job all year, so for us to finish 1-2 is all we can ask for.”

Paul Edmondson – Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager: “What a season it has been for us in the British Enduro Championship! To take the win this weekend is amazing, it’s been a huge effort from the whole team, especially Jamie, so we’re really pleased for him. It’s great that Miki has ended up second overall too, despite having to miss the final rounds to prioritise being at full fitness in Italy. It couldn’t be a better result for us as a team, for Triumph, for our incredible sponsors, and for Jamie and Mikael themselves.”

Next up for the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team is the EnduroGP of Italy in Darfo Boario Terme on September 26-28, the penultimate round of the 2025 season.
