CDR Yamaha‰Ûªs Chris Hollis and Daniel Milner finished the 2016 Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) in formation, taking second and third outright, in a hard fought battle with eventual winner, international rider Mathias Bellino, after competition wrapped up yesterday in Mansfield, Victoria.
Hollis, who announced his retirement on the eve of the final day of racing, wound back the clock and turned on a performance on the final day that will long be remember in off road racing. Hollis stunned everyone when he leapt out front on his WR450F in the final moto and charged away like a rider half his age.
He never let up on his competition and took the win in the final moto and jumped himself from third to second in the final standings, leap frogging his close friend, Daniel Milner.
It was an outstanding week of racing by the 32 year old racer who clearly showed he can still mix it with the best riders in the world.
‰ÛÏI wanted to finish my career on a high and my goal was to finish in the top three so to be able to achieve that in an event like this is a good feeling,‰Û
