Squamish, B.C.-based AGR Racing might not be a huge team but, rolling into just its third season, it’s already making waves. Last year, the four-rider squad took on enduro World Cups, landed a national championship (Geza Rodgers) and a whole whack of other podiums.
With a bit of turnover, two new riders join the returning Hannah Gillchrist and Ryder Knoll, the team’s already adding to the medal tally.
Gillcrist started her season with a win at the Fire in the Mountain round of Canadian Enduro League (W.Kelowna) pro womens race with new addition Nolan Weiss finishing second in junior men for his debut with the squad.
“I’m super excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the awesome crew and sponsors at AGR Racing for the 2026 season. Riding for all of these brands is truly a dream come true for me,” Weiss said of joining the team. “I’m fired up to get between the tape at the Canadian and World Cup enduros this season.”

“Couldn’t be more stoked to head into the 2026 season with the AGR crew!” Jamieson, one of two new recruits added. “The crew feels more like a family than a typical team and I’m so grateful for everyone involved in this.”
Ryder Knoll returns not just as a racer but, quite impressively, as the new director of the Canadian Enduro League. He’s already managing to combine racing and organizing with speed. Knoll will look to focus on the on-the-bike parts of his day at some of the multi-day enduro events like Trans BC and Trans Sierra Norte.
“I Could not be more stoked to bring the team together once again for 2026 with the same energy and a few new faces,” Knoll said ahead of the season. I’m super stoked to feed off of the new…
