Yamaha Racing maintain strong positions at A4DE

Yamaha Racing currently hold down positions 2-3-4 Outright after day two of the 2016 Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) wrapped up late this afternoon, in Mansfield Victoria.

Green’s day was highlighted by a test win and with just 20 seconds separating Green from the lead, it’s headed for a tight finish on Saturday afternoon.

Chris Hollis continues to perform well and again was extremely consistent throughout day two. He sits in fourth place outright, third in the E2 class, and is confident he can keep the momentum going into the final two days.

With experienced competitors like Damien Smith and Kirk Hutton behind him, he will still need to be at his best to take the class win but he has put himself in the perfect position at the half way point.

The Women’s class is all Yamaha with the top four riders all on blue bikes. Tayla Jones stamped here authority on the class and stretched her lead during the day to just over three minutes back to Jemma Wilson and then Jess Gardiner.
