Active8 Yamaha‰Ûªs Josh Green battled through a challenging night to finish in second place at the opening round of the 2015 Australian Enduro-X championship held at Archerfield International Speedway in Brisbane, over the weekend.
Green, mounted on his WR250F, crashed heavily in his heat race in a spectacular over the handlebars fall that left him batted and bruised just minutes before the main event on the Pro class.
Despite the fall, he managed to qualify through to the 14 rider final that consisted of three, five lap sprints with the highest point scorer claiming the round win.
Green pulled off three consistent and well-constructed races to finish with 4-3-3 and take the runner up position behind US import, Mike Brown. The result is even more impressive considering Green sat out the 2014 series with injury, so the Brisbane event for his first in national Enduro-X.
