Having recently announced his retirement from the World Enduro Championship, Jamie McCanney returned to the island to win the Moto43Duro event at Knock Froy on Saturday.

In wet and muddy conditions, he won the popular annual event, organised by his brother Danny, on the Fast Eddy Factory Racing team Triumph TE250F.

He completed 17 laps in a little over 1hr 45mins to finish more than five minutes in front of fellow EnduroGP rider Samuel Hughes of Wales, with David Knight another 3m 41s down in third.

Max Ingham was fourth on the second Triumph, with Juan Knight fifth, first over-50.

The best of the Sports/Clubman class riders was Danny Lane in 14th place overall, while former British Trials Championship regular Saskia Kelly (nee Baxter) was the first of four women in the total field of more than 50 riders in the enduro/mx category.

A further 27 rode in the new trials class, which also included observed sections. Barry Kinley won this in 28th position overall, one lap ahead of Chris Madigan, Tom Knight and Ashley Kelly.

David Knight’s young lad Finley made a rare appearance in two-wheel competition, but nevertheless showed his natural talent by winning the youth class over the one-hour support event on an 85cc Husqvarna, holding off regular motocross rider Abe Cain.

The day was concluded by an extreme race in which brothers David and Juan Knight led home visiting competitor Hughes.

The top three in the trials extreme event were Kinley, Tom Knight and Kelly.
