McCanney to Step Back From EnduroGP

Jamie McCanney, the 2025 British Enduro Champion will take a step back from EnduroGP competition and start a new role within the Triumph Factory Racing Team.

McCanney will still defend his British title in 2026 – although he will pilot the larger TF 450-E machine.

The Manx racer will now move into a new role as Rider Coach for the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team, bringing his wealth of experience to support the next phase of Triumph’s enduro project.

Remarkable Career

McCanney, who has enjoyed a remarkable career including two World Championship titles and victories across both British Enduro and International Six Days Enduro competition, joined Triumph at the start of 2025 to race the TF 250-E in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship.

Over the course of the season, he delivered consistent results in Enduro1 and helped the team achieve several milestones during its debut year.

His understanding of the demands of world-level enduro and his technical insight into the TF 250-E make him an ideal fit for his new position.

New Role

In his new role, Jamie will provide day-to-day rider support, ensuring the team’s 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.

Alongside his coaching responsibilities, McCanney will continue test and development work with the team, specifically the ongoing race development of the new TF 450-E.

He will also compete in the British Enduro Championship to defend his title aboard the TF 450-E, continuing to represent Triumph on the national stage.

Pass on The Baton

Jamie said: “After 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.

“It’s never an easy decision to step away from competing in EnduroGP, but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout my career.

“To finish my professional racing journey representing such an iconic British brand has been a privilege, and I couldn’t think of a better way to close that chapter than with Triumph.

“Now, I’m 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.

“I’ve learned a lot over the years – from the highs of world titles to the challenges of injuries – 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’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
