Yamaha supporter riders featured prominently in the results, across a range of championship divisions, after rounds one and two of the 2016 Australian Off Road Championship (AORC) concluded on Sunday afternoon at Kilkivan in Queensland.
At the conclusion of the opening two rounds, Yamaha riders lead the E2, Vets and Women‰Ûªs classes, hold podium positions in E1 and E3 and boast seven out of the top 11 riders on Yamaha machinery. Josh Green leads the Yamaha charge holding down second place outright and leading the E2 class in a promising start to the season.
Long time Yamaha legend, Kirk Hutton, has again taken control of the Vets class. The multi-time national champion again ruled the table in the Vets class and rode to comfortable victories at both rounds over the weekend on his WR450F.
Hutton now spends his days on the end of a shovel in his plumbing business so ride time has been considerably cut back in recent years but he still manages a good pace in the bush and will look to add more national championships to his mantle by season‰Ûªs end.
