Active8 Yamaha’s Josh Green has completed a sensational 2015 season on his Yamaha WR250F, taking the E1 class win at the Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) when the final motocross moto was wrapped up on Saturday afternoon.

Green can now add the A4DE victory to his Australian Off-Road Championship success that saw him win all 12 rounds of the championship and clearly show that he and the WR250F are the class of the field.

The Active8 Yamaha rider took a handy lead into the final day after winning the opening three days of the event and rode a well-constructed race to finish second and claim the 2015 E1 A4DE championship.

“Winning the E1 class at the A4DE was a great way to finish off an awesome year with the Active8 Yamaha team and the WR250F,” Green said. “I have really enjoyed riding the smaller capacity bike this year and I think it’s helped my riding on a range of different surfaces.

“We experienced a range of different riding this week as the first couple of days were wet and slippery and it was like riding on ice after the overnight rain we had. The last couple of days were good and it was awesome to just get out there and hold it on.

“Yamaha have done a great job with the 250F and the Active8 Yamaha team kept her rolling along all week, so thank you to our team and our sponsors for such great support.”

That speed across all four days saw him finish the event in fifth place Outright and right in the shadows of Australia’s off road heavy hitters and on a bike that was 200-250cc down on his rivals.
