The event was the first of two Yamaha AORC rounds being held this weekend at Gooana Motor Sports Park.

Conditions at the park are dusty and the course is reportedly tight, rutted and technical.

Milner, 20, from Lang Lang (VIC) continued his domination of Championship E1, winning all seven of yesterday’s sprint heats aboard his YZ250F.

In Championship E2, it was 18-year-old Matt Phillips who raced to victory aboard the all-new WR450F.

Championship E3 also saw a Yamaha rider on the top rungs of the podium, with big-bore WR450F rider, Stefan Merriman, taking second spot in the class.

In the Outright top 10, Yamaha racers claimed five of the total spots, with Milner leading the charge in second Outright.

Riders on blue machines similarly excelled in the Women’s Championship division.

Jess Gardiner, Jemma Wilson and Emilie Karlsson took the three podium positions after a day of heated racing.
