Triumph Factory Racing is set to take on the 100th edition of the FIM 6DAYS Enduro of Nations in Grândola, Portugal, from October 12-17. Leo Joyon, Mikael Persson, and Jamie McCanney will all line up in the Men’s World Trophy category for France, Sweden, and Great Britain, respectively. Racing aboard Triumph’s TF 250-E and TF 450-E machinery, the trio bring a wealth of 6DAYS experience to one of the most prestigious events on the enduro calendar.
Following a standout 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship campaign, Leo Joyon heads to Portugal aboard his TF 250-E having established himself as one of the leading riders in the Junior category. The young Frenchman will step up to represent the Men’s World Trophy team for France. Joyon has an impressive record at the 6DAYS, winning the Junior World Trophy with Team France in 2023, before helping the team to runner-up finishes in 2024 and 2025. His 2026 season has seen him claim four overall Junior victories, including Triumph Factory Racing’s first-ever victory in EnduroGP, as well as finishing runner-up in both the Junior and Junior1 standings.
Mikael Persson returns to 6DAYS competition with Team Sweden, making his return to international racing following a pre-season injury that ruled him out of the 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship. A hugely experienced 6DAYS competitor, Persson won the Junior World Trophy with Sweden in 2016 before producing a standout individual performance in 2021, finishing third overall and second in the Enduro1 class. In 2022, he dominated the Enduro3 category, leading the class on every day of special-test competition on his way to the class victory. Returning to the event with Triumph Factory Racing in 2025, Persson helped Team Sweden secure second place in the Men’s World Trophy and finished fourth overall individually, while also claiming third in Enduro1.
Jamie McCanney will make his return to Great Britain’s Men’s World Trophy team aboard the TF 450-E. McCanney has spent the 2026 season as Rider Coach for Triumph Factory Racing, following his retirement from EnduroGP competition at the end of 2025. A six-time representative for Team GB at the event, he has enjoyed considerable success at the 6DAYS throughout his career. In 2015, he secured victory in the E1 individual class, before playing a key role in Great Britain’s historic Men’s World Trophy victory in 2022, which ended a 69-year wait for the nation. The following year in Argentina, McCanney helped Team GB secure third place in the World Trophy competition while finishing sixth individually.
Triumph will be represented across the Trophy teams and Club Team Award, with 23 riders from 11 nations contesting the iconic event. Morgan Lesiardo will defend the Men’s Trophy title with Team Italy following his runner-up finish in the 2026 Enduro1 World Championship, while Samuli Puhakainen will represent Finland with Arturo Rodriguez lining up for Mexico. Renato Silva will compete for Portugal in the Men’s Trophy, with Robin Gunnarsson, Jack Keenan, Martin Fernandez, and Francisco Leite competing in the Junior Trophy for Sweden, Great Britain, Chile, and Portugal, respectively. Shelby Turner will represent Canada and Charlotte Knight New Zealand in the Women’s Trophy. Across the full Triumph rider contingent, 15 will compete aboard the TF 250-E and eight on the TF 450-E.
