Yamaha/Machine Racing Race Report

The Royal Distributing/World Enduro Canada Canadian Enduro Championship series, presented by Parts Canada, resumed in the beautiful town of Labelle, Quebec. Yamaha/Machine Racing’s off road team traveled to Le Belle Province for Rounds 5 & 6.

For the eastern rounds Brian “Wojo” Wojnarowski is joined by last year’s
teammate, Adam “Blue22” Millson. Millson, who will be representing the Blue Team in E1 against fierce and fast competitors Guy Giroux and Tyler Murray.

On Saturday Wojo had some difficulty in the Enduro test, loosing precious
time and energy. He finished just shy of the overall podium in 4th position, but still finished 3rd in E2.

“With all the deep ruts and mud, some riders experienced some mechanical
problems, but our Yamahas worked great all weekend,” said Wojo.

Millson took on the little bike and put the YZ250f on the podium in E1
with a 2nd place; his efforts were good enough for an 8th place overall.

Sunday saw some new lines open up on a particularly nasty section in the Extreme test. Wojo and Millson made use of the new options, making clean choices in the rutted woods.

Millson busted out some old school turn downs at the Cross test after lap three for the spectators, who loved the show he and Guy Giroux put on. “It’s fun to put on a show for the people good enough to come out and cheer for us,” said Millson. While most of the crowd was cheering “Guy Gi-Roux!” there were a few who were cheering “Bleu
Vignt-Deux!”

Wojo finished 3rd overall on the day, and second in E2, tying for the
fastest Cross test time.

Millson dropped one spot on the podium to 3rd in E1, but remained 8th overall on the day.

On the weekend Wojo finished 3rd with Millson taking home 9th.

The boys would like to thank their sponsors, Yamaha, Machine Racing, LGS, Podium Grafix, Bondi Engines, Works Connection, and Yamalube, for their support.

In addition, Wojo would like to thank: AXO Gear, PerformX, Orthoflex, Rekluse, LRP and AME Grips.

Next stop for Yamaha Off Road: Rounds 7 and 8 in Chatsworth, Ontario.
