#Milner Marches on at #A4DE


Daniel Milner added to his overnight lead after day two of competition finished at the 2015 Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) in Tasmania, with the #Yamaha mounted rider now holding nearly a 30 second lead as the event hits the half way stage.

Milner again excelled in slippery conditions as the riders worked their way through the beautiful Tasmanian country side and the five special tests conducted. The YZ450F mounted Milner, won three tests today and extended his lead to 27 seconds over second placed Matt Phillips with two days remaining.

Milner leads both the Outright and E2 (450cc) divisions.

"Things went well again today and I had a really good run this morning in the first two tests and was able to build a bit of a gap," Milner explains. "I had an issue in the final test and I lost some time, but all up it was a good day for me and the bike is going awesome, so I look forward to more of the same tomorrow," he ends.

CDR Yamaha team mate, Chris Hollis, had a tough day at the office. He fell at crucial times in special tests and as a result, lost important time on the leaders. He lost a minute due to crashes in both the first and third special tests on day two and now has plenty work ahead of him to make up for the lost time. He currently sits fifth Outright and second in E2 behind Milner.

Josh Green (Active8 Yamaha) continues his strong form and holds down fourth outright after another impressive performance on day two. The WR250F mounted Green posted consistent times all day to consolidate is place inside the top four and he also has a strangle hold on the E1 (250cc) division with two days to go.

Active8 Yamaha partner, Beau Ralston, also logged a good day despite not feeling the best on the bike on the slippery surfaces and currently runs in seventh outright and third in the E2 class, keeping Yamaha's 1-2-3, E2 charge intact.

Tayla Jones went on the attack today in the Women's class to turn her three second deficit into nearly a 90 second lead at the end of the second day. Jones, who has dominated the Women's class all year, was back to her best and has again taken control with an impressive ride.

The update on the injury to Kirk Hutton is a broken shoulder and Hutton will now return him for his recovery.
