Riders encountered two tests in the Enduro format, the WR 450F Cross Test and the Off-Road Advantage Enduro Test, navigating each four times to make up round three in New South Wales.

Milner, who topped the Outright times ahead of Sanders and Josh Green (Yamaha Yamalube Active8), claimed a convincing victory in the E2 division, making it three wins from three rounds so far this season.

Green wound up in second – just under a minute shy of Milner – while the top five was rounded out by Scott Keegan (Kawasaki), Jeremy Carpentier (Yamaha) and Stefan Granquist (Yamaha).

In the E3 division, it was all about Sanders as he stormed to a third consecutive triumph, comfortably defeating Beau Ralston (Husqvarna) and Jesse Lawton (Husqvarna). The top five was completed by Matt Murry (Husqvarna) and Daniel Middleton (KTM).

It was a tight battle in the highly-competitive E1 class, although it was Styke who reigned supreme in the Enduro format. Less than 50 seconds separated the top four contenders, consisting of Michael Driscoll (Yamaha Yamalube Active8) in second ahead of Fraser Higlett (Husqvarna Enduro Racing Team) and Lyndon Snodgrass (KTM Enduro Racing Team). Jonte Reynders (Yamaha) was fifth.
