Day two of the Yamaha Australian Four Day Enduro (AD4E) met the riders with warm sunshine and some rough and dusty tracks, but that didn’t stop Daniel Milner on his KTM, as he was the fastest man in Cessnock again making it two from two in the E3 class. Daniel Sanders was once again the stand out on his Husqvarna taking out E2, but also matching Milner’s times throughout the day. We saw a different winner in E1 on Day two, with Active8 Yamaha Yamalube's Luke Styke taking the honours.

The riders were pushed to their limits on day two under the warm Cessnock sun, completing nine tests and covering just under 150km through the Chris Watson Motorcycles, Troy Lee Design, Beta XT, Beta RR and finishing once again on the KTM/Husqvarna test.

E3
Milner was once again the man to beat in the E3 class taking a commanding win and putting a big gap between himself and rest of the E3 field with a time of 40:16.318, Milner has stretched his lead out to just under 2 minutes. Lachlan Stanford again enjoyed a solid days riding, and really clicked with the rougher tracks as the day went on, Stanford sits in second place with a time of 42:09.619. Rounding out the podium again in third position was Broc Grabham on his Gas Gas, finishing with a time of 42:40.700 after an improved performance from day one.   

Milner was wrapped to take out day two; “My bike was awesome today and we had some really good test times, I’m happy with where we are sitting right now. Its been good thus far, and today was a tough day with the conditions but there were some good tests that we got on when they were fresh which was nice,” finished Milner.



E2
Daniel Sanders has started the 2018 A4DE in fine form claiming day two to back up his efforts on day one. Sanders aboard his Husqvarna again topped the time sheets, but a few falls today did hurt his time, but Sanders did enough to stop the clock at 40:36.702. Active8 Yamaha Yamalube’s Josh Green will be happy with his efforts on day two, moving into second place for the E2 class after finishing day two with a 41:52.543. Green’s teammate Wil Ruprecht moved into third place on day two, showing great speed after a month out with a shoulder injury after his time of 42:04.208. Lyndon Snodgrass was sitting in second position after day one, but a mechanical issue has ruled him out of the rest of the A4DE. 

Sanders is happy with how his A4DE is tracking after day two; “It was a good day, it’s good to stay in front of the class and today we got to ride the new test which was good and hopefully it can hold up for tomorrow as well, but with two days finished and two days to go we just need to keep it upright and get the bike and body through to Saturday,” added Sanders.

 
E1
Luke Styke aboard his Active8 Yamaha Yamalube has shown great speed on day two of the A4DE, taking out the E1 class on a day that pushed riders to the edge with warm conditions and rough tests. Styke rose to the occasion and put in a great days riding, stopping the clock at 41:49.088. Michael Driscoll is sitting in second after day two, the Yamaha rider is over 40 seconds a drift at the end of day two.

The 2018 Yamaha Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) was greeted with dusty conditions as Jessica Gardiner started her quest for the A4DE Womens title in great form, taking out the Womens class. Ben Grabham lead the way in the Veterans class at Cessnock. Brad Williscroft rode in fine style to claim day one honours in the Masters class.

With the return to the birthplace of the Australian Enduro scene, the Cessnock weather decided to throw some rain at the riders in the morning and then sunshine from lunch time onwards. The weather didn’t phase the riders as they handled the conditions well and took on the five tests, the MXStore, Ballards, Funnel Web and KTM/Husqvarna tests.

The battle out front is definitely going to be one to watch over the next three days.



Veterans
In the Veterans class on day one at Cessnock, it will be Grabham leading the paddock into day two after recording a 37:46.980 over the five tests. Damian Smith battled well in the dusty conditions to stop the clock at 38:39.795, to secure second position. In third position after day one will be Greg Stephens after clocking a time of 40:16.055, which leaves him within striking distance of Smith in the battle for second position.

The Yamaha Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) is back for season 2018 and returning to the birthplace of Australian Enduro Cessnock, New South Wales. Riders will battle it out in their respective classes E1, E2, E3, Womens, Masters and a new class for this year, Vintage. The challenge Trophy will be hotly contested throughout the four days (April 3-7) with state bragging rights on the line.

Cessnock, New South Wales 

Cessnock is a city in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, located about 52km west of Newcastle and was the original host of the A4DE, with the first event taking place in 1978 after Australian went off to the 1977 International Six Day Enduro (ISDE) and had a horror run, not one of the Australian riders completed the race. Not happy with this result, John Hall and the Cessnock Motorcycle Club came together and created the A4DE concept, an event that would prepare riders and support teams for the notoriously torrid ISDE. The 1978 edition had over 125 riders entering A4DE and in 2018 the race has grown to over 350 riders. The torrid and tough conditions riders faced in 1978 have been promised to return by the Cessnock Motorcycle Club, with 8 separate Special Test Locations ready to test this year’s crop of riders.
