Video highlights from the final rounds of the 2025 Australian Enduro Championship where Daniel Milner and Wil Ruprecht took the inaugural AEC title fight right to the wire in Kyogle.

Victorian Daniel Milner is the first official outright champion of the Yamaha Australian Enduro Championship presented by MXstore 2025 season finale in Gympie (Qld) on October 11-12.

Milner rode his DM31 KTM Racing Team 450 XC-F to a 4-5 scorecard in the Pro Enduro class, safe in the knowledge it was enough to hold off a red-hot Wil Ruprecht (Shop Yamaha Off-Road Racing Team) who extended his late season surge to four wins in a row.

However, Ruprecht ultimately fell short by 9pts (256 to 247), with the main difference between the pair Milner’s metronomic consistency – nine podiums and four wins from 12 rounds – coupled with a slight mid-season dip for Ruprecht, who returned to Australia in 2025 after a successful championship-winning world enduro stint.

That means Milner writes his name into the history books as the Aussie Pro Enduro champion – the fastest rider across the E1-E3 championship classes – which was only inaugurated officially this season.

Milner also claimed his fifth E2 title, and his ninth overall in the AusEnduro Championship extending back to 2012, with class win over Ruprecht and Will Dennett (Shop Yamaha Off-Road Racing Team).

In a final weekend of racing in Gympie, Jonte Reynders (DM31 KTM Racing Team) and Jess Gardiner (JGR Yamaha Off-Road Racing) also wrapped up the E1 and EW titles on Saturday, Gardiner extending her extraordinary record yet again.

The final day also saw Korey McMahon (DM31 KTM Racing Team) take a maiden title in E3 and Kogan Lock (Beta) in EJ also claiming his maiden outright crown.
