Continuing his strong run of form at this year’s Enduro 1 World Championship, Jamie McCanney has wrapped up a demanding GP of Estonia with two solid runner-up class results. Battling through the pain following a crash early on day one, the Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team rider managed to retain his provisional lead in the class points standings.
Taking place around the Estonian capital of Tallinn, round four of the 2018 FIM Enduro World Championship included a mixture of a long enduro test with the addition of a sandy motocross test and a spectacular extreme test. For Yamaha’s official representative in the 250cc category McCanney, the weekend started with the Manxman posting the second-best time in the short opening SuperTest.
Looking forward to the long weekend of racing Jamie was left with a mountain to climb following a fall in the opening special test on Saturday morning. Losing more than 30 seconds to his rivals as a result of the fall, Jamie also had to battle through intense pain on his wrist and back throughout the remainder of the weekend.
With the pain making it impossible for the young rider to show his true potential, Jamie remained focused on securing the biggest amount of points for the championship. Using his experience in enduro racing to his advantage, the WR250F powered rider was able to secure the runner-up spot on both days in the Enduro 1 category.
Tied for points at the top of the Enduro 1 World Championship standings with Brad Freeman, McCanney retains the provisional lead in the series as a result of the four class victories the Yamaha Racing rider has earned so far in 2018.
Jamie McCanney and the Outsiders Yamaha Official Enduro Team return to action in Pietramurata, Italy for round five of the 2018 Enduro World Championship on June 29/30.
