Riders were thrown into rough conditions in Cessnock on day three, including a gruelling 165km trail ride as well as completing five tests. Knee high ruts and bull dust put the rider’s skills on show throughout the tests.

Daniel Milner completed a hat-trick on day three, claiming three wins from three days in Cessnock. Milner took out all five of the tests to further cement himself at the top of the E3 class.

Daniel Sanders continued his fine form, making it three from three E2 class.

Fraser Higlett also continued his improvement, claiming day three honours in the E1 class aboard his Husqvarna.


E3

Daniel Milner continued his domination of the Cessnock E3 class, grabbing the day three result to back up his day one and two wins. Milner pulled ahead of his nearest E3 competitor, finishing the day with a 33:18.345.

Lachlan Stanford again finished in second position, and the podium on day three was rounded out by Broc Grabham aboard his Gas Gas.

Daniel Milner

“The trail was tough, it basically turned into a special test as we had to make the test, but we were solid in the tests grabbing all five test wins. It was a bit of a struggle in the test as they were clapped out with knee high ruts, and I also had two crashes in the tests, but I managed to keep pushing forward and stay at the front. I’m looking forward to the final moto tomorrow as I’ve never won a final moto, so I will be looking to grab the win and take out the A4DE title.”

“It was a very tough day at the office in the dust, it was great to finish what was a long and tiring day and grab the win again. I’m looking forward to the final moto tomorrow, as I get to bring out my motocross skills and the boys will get loose and wild, but its going to be good fun on the 450, and the plan will be to get a good start and check out from the pack.”
