Daniel Milner will compete in the final round of the US GNCC series.

Daniel Milner is set to make his US Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) debut with the added momentum of scoring his first ever Australian Four-Day Enduro (A4DE) titles in Victoria over the weekend.

Milner scored wins in both the E1 and Outright divisions in wet, cold and grueling conditions on his Ballard’s Off-Road-backed Yamaha YZ250F, setting himself up for a solid debut on American soil.

Milner looked forward to celebrating at the A4DE presentation ceremony, before packing up and making the trip state side in the final round of the GNCC series at Loretta Lynn’s.

“It’s going to be a great night,” he said. “Then on Monday I fly to the United States do the last round of the Grand National Cross Country series at Loretta Lynn’s. I’ll be riding the YZ250F again. After winning the four-day on this bike, it’s pretty special to me.

“The confidence is definitely peaking right now after winning this, so we’ll go there feeling pretty confident, but we’ll just see how I go.

“I wouldn’t mind getting in the top 10, but I’ve never been to the states before, so I’m just excited to be going. It’s going to be an awesome experience.”

The Victorian says he achieved a life-long goal at the 2012 A4DE by taking home the E1 and Outright victory, with an added bonus of doing so in front of his hometown crowd.

“I’m so stoked to win an A4DE,” he added. “Finishing the final moto today was a monkey off the back, that’s for sure.

“As soon as I finished the final moto, it felt unreal. I was super relieved to have it over with and the Outright win for the first time – which has been a huge goal of mine ever since I was a kid.

“Taking the win in my home town was also unreal – it felt amazing to have all the family there and all the supporters and all my mates were there too.

“Winning a four-day gets me pretty hungry to do it again. Especially seeing that number one on the bike next year – just makes me want to hang onto it.”
