🇮🇪 MCI ENDURO COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT – GORDON CLARKE
The MCI Enduro Committee is delighted to welcome Gordon Clarke as our newest committee member, taking up the role of Enduro Academy & Development Officer.
Gordon is one of Ireland’s most accomplished and versatile off-road riders, with a career spanning Trials, Enduro, Hard Enduro and Rally Raid.
🏆 TRIALS
Gordon came through the Irish Trials scene, establishing himself as an Elite-level rider before turning his attention to Enduro. His Trials background and technical ability became a major asset throughout his Enduro career.
🏆 ENDURO
After his talent was spotted by Nicky Craigie, Gordon quickly progressed to become Irish Enduro Champion and one of Ireland’s leading riders. He competed extensively in the British Enduro Championship, represented Ireland internationally on the ISDE Trophy Team and raced at FIM World Enduro Championship level, including an impressive 12th-place E1 finish.
⛰️ HARD ENDURO
At the legendary 2010 Erzbergrodeo, Gordon qualified an incredible 35th from 1,795 riders, securing a front-row start for the 500-rider main event. Despite mechanical problems eventually stopping his charge, Gordon was classified an outstanding 25th overall on his first attempt.
🏜️ RALLY RAID
Gordon later took on the 2013 Merzouga Rally in Morocco, placing an incredible 6th in the opening prologue before finishing 16th overall on his Rally Raid debut.
From Elite Trials to Irish Enduro Champion, World Enduro, Erzberg and Rally Raid, Gordon brings a huge wealth of knowledge and experience to MCI Enduro.
As Enduro Academy & Development Officer, Gordon will help shape our Academy, Events and rider-development pathway, supporting the next generation of Irish riders from grassroots level towards national and international competition.
A fantastic addition to the team. Welcome aboard, Gordon! 🇮🇪🏁 Motorcycling Ireland
