Husaberg Factory Team rider Jamie McCanney put the finishing touches to his Enduro Youth World Championship campaign at the GP of Romania, winning a first ever EWC title aboard his TE125
With eight consecutive day wins to his credit, added to his two runner-up results at the opening round of the Enduro World Championship in Chile, Jamie McCanney became the first rider to be crowned Enduro World Champion in 2013 as he lifted the Enduro Youth 125cc title following two dominant performances at the GP of Romania.
Topping his class during the event’s Friday night Super test, Jamie then won seven of the first day’s 10 special tests to claim yet another deserved victory. In securing his seventh win of the series he also put himself in position to lift the Enduro Youth title on day two. And on day two Jamie most certainly rose to the challenge. Fastest in his class on eight of the special tests, he amassed a winning margin of close to two minutes to stand on the top step of the podium as 2013 Enduro Youth 125cc World Champion.
“It feels incredible to have won the world championship,” commented Jamie. “I’m still struggling to believe that it’s actually happened. This time last year I was recovering from a broken wrist so to now be crowned world champion is incredible.
“On day one I struggled with the rocky climb in the extreme test and it cost me a lot of time, but I really enjoyed the enduro test. Even though it was tight and twisty there was a lot of grip and it suited me. On day two I tried not to think about winning the title and instead focused on the race. It worked out well and I managed to get one of my biggest winning margins so far this year. Once I finished the final test I knew I had the championship won. To win eight races in a row has made this a perfect championship. It feels great to be crowned world champion.”
