The young champion from the Isle of Man is attached to the factory team for three seasons…
The official Gas Gas team has become a major player in the international Enduro pre-season thanks to the good results achieved by Ivan Cervantes with the new EC450 with the four- stroke engine, but also by the excellent performances of recently signed, young Danny McCanney, which surprised some international riders with extensive experience and track record in both the British and the Spanish Championships.
McCanney was born in Douglas (Isle of Man) on November 12, 1991 and comes to the Gas Gas factory team after a great 2011 season, riding an EC300 with the support of GasGas UK. Danny scored the British Enduro Championship Junior and E3, also the British title of Enduro sprint U23 as well as the Enduro European Championship in both Junior and in E2/3. This season the challenges are even greater, since he will contest his first World Enduro Championship in Junior as well as participating in the British and Spanish championships in the Senior category.
The arrival of this promising figure in the ranks of the official Gas Gas team reaffirms the commitment that the company has always shown with the new stars of the sport. Danny McCanney is the best example of this, and he is worth the bet for the medium to long-haul, as his union with the brand is planned at the outset for three seasons. Danny will ride one of the new EC300 Racing models in both the World and national championships.
