EP#53 - Hamish Macdonald on his rise from NZ to Enduro GP World Champ!

We’ve got Hamish Macdonald on the podcast and if you follow EnduroGP, you know how fast this bloke is!The Kiwi has built one of the most complete careers in modern enduro, climbing the ladder the hard way. He’s a former Youth World Champion (2019), backed it up with the Junior World Championship in 2020, and has now gone all the way to the top, claiming the 2025 Enduro3 World Championship with Sherco Racing Factory. That makes him a three-time world champ across three different classes, which is no small feat in a sport this stacked. What stands out with Macdonald is how methodical his rise has been. He’s been consistently in the mix in EnduroGP for years, podiums, top-three finishes, and battling factory teammates week in, week out before finally cracking that senior title. In this episode, we get into what it actually takes to go from a fast junior to a world champion in the toughest off-road series on the planet the mindset, the grind, and what separates the good guys from the ones holding the #1 plate.
