Day 1 of the Australian X Trial Championships has been run and won at Barbagello BallPark in Thornlie, Western Australia.
Tim Coleman (VIC - Beta) went into the finals in good form after an impressive run in the heats. Neil Price (WA - Beta) and Chris Bayles (TAS - Gas Gas) were just behind him and Kyle Middleton (NSW - Gas Gas) just 2 points behind them in the heat lap.
It was 2014 Australian Champion rider Kyle Middleton who was the favourite going into the event that would take out the Day 1 Finals with a clear lead over his rivals on only 3 points. Tim Coleman placed second on 13 points.
A well-deserved third-place went to local boy and organiser of the Australian X trial championships, Neil Price. This event has been a brain child of Neil’s for several years and the event has come together in a setting that has had very favourable reviews from riders and spectators.
Day 2 continues today with gates opening at 5pm and competition starting at 6pm.
