Daniel Sanders (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team), Daniel Milner (KTM Enduro Racing Team) and Fraser Higlett (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Teams) have each scored class victories at Kyogle’s fifth round of the 2019 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) in New South Wales.

The trio topped the unofficial outright times, with Sanders leading Milner and Higlett, as Josh Green (Yamaha Active8 Yamalube Racing) – who’s battling a broken wrist – and Beau Ralston (Husqvarna) completed the top five.

In the E3 division, it was Sanders who reigned supreme over Ralston and Andy Wilksch (Motul Pirelli Sherco Factory Team), as Jesse Lawton (Husqvarna) and Matt Murry (Kawasaki) were fourth and fifth respectively.
