2023 Australian Four Day Enduro
Tasmanian 25-year-old Jonte Reynders has written himself and Sherco into the annals of enduro history with outright victory in the 2023 Australian Four Day Enduro.
This year’s event was staged around Harvey, 90 minutes south of Perth. The Harvey region is one of the lushest parts of Western Australia and known primarily for its dairy industry and orange production. There was no orange on the outright A4DE podium this year though with Sherco blue on top ahead of Yamaha blue and GASGAS red.
Reynders had put himself into contention with the fastest time on day three to close the gap to Yamaha’s Josh Green, narrowing Green’s lead to only ten-seconds ahead of the final day of competition.
Green went down hard during the opening lap of the final moto and Reynders pounced on that mistake and piloted his Sherco 300 SEF Factory four-stroke to victory.
The A4DE crown is a cherished garland for Reynders and along with outright honours also comes the E2 (220cc-250cc 2/ & 275cc-450cc 4/) class honours. Green second in E2 and outright runner-up. KTM’s Andy Wilksch was third in E2.
The E1 (100cc-200cc 2/ & 150cc-250cc 4/) class victory went to Korey McMahon (GASGAS) ahead of Cooper Sheidow (Yamaha) and Will Price (Kawasaki). McMahon was also third outright and Sheidow fourth.
KTM’s Rilye McGillivray won the E3 (290cc-500cc 2/ & 475cc-650cc 4/) category ahead of Sam Pretscherer (Husqvarna) and Stefan Granquist (Husqvarna).
Jess Gardiner once again stamped her authority in the womens class with her seventh A4DE win. Gardiner has her sights set on a bigger prize now though as she heads to Finland to contest Women’s World Enduro Championship.
New South Wales clinched the Team Senior Trophy ahead of Victoria and the local Sandgropers.
Victoria claimed the Junior Team Trophy ahead of Western Australia.
