Talcan Power
By TMX Archives on 22nd Apr 15
After months of waiting the 2015 FIM Maxxis Enduro World Championship exploded into life in Talca, Chile with old and new winners climbing to the top the podium.
Taking in the series' one and only flyaway race this year, Chile delivered a race of two halves. Hot sunny weather on day one dished out dry and dusty tracks before heavy overnight rain ensured day two's action was the polar opposite. Extremely slippery and very unforgiving treacherous trails caught out many riders.
At the top of the pile Antoine Meo unofficially topped the outright classification both days while easing away to two confidence boosting Enduro 2 class wins. But for British interest, Husqvarna-mounted brothers Daniel and Jamie McCanney certainly enjoyed their share of success at the opening round with both riders hitting their respective podium both days.
Stepping up into the senior ranks for 2015, having won the Enduro Junior title last year, Daniel McCanney wasted no time in adapting to life in the Enduro 1 class.
Immediately slotting into the top five, McCanney steadily grew stronger and began to match the pace set by the leaders. Working his way up to third, he recorded his debut E1 podium at the first time of asking.
