An eighth outright victory for the season has seen Toby Price secure the 2015 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC) title at Kyogle on Sunday.

The KTM Off-Road Racing Team rider claimed his fifth AORC crown with two rounds remaining in the series, courtesy of his win in round 10.

Price (who also took out the E3 Class) entered Sunday’s round only needing to finish ahead of Active8 Yamaha’s Josh Green (E1 Class winner), who ended up third outright behind Saturday’s winner, CDR Yamaha’s Chris Hollis (E2 Class victor).

Price’s fifth AORC title caps off what has been an amazing fortnight for the 27-year-old, following the announcement of his two-year deal with the Red Bull KTM Factory Rally Racing squad from next season.

Rounding out the top five was Price’s KTM Off-Road Racing Team teammate Daniel Sanders and Husqvarna Enduro Team veteran Glenn Kearney.

In the 19 & Under Class, Saturday’s top three result was reversed with MX1 Australia Suzuki Off-Road Team rider Wil Ruprecht improving on his third place to take out the round on Sunday. Ruprecht swapped spots on the podium with Bolton’s KTM rider Tom Mason (third), while Kawasaki Junior KX Squad’s Lyndon Snodgrass claimed his second runner-up placing for the weekend.

Yamaha Racing’s dominance in the Women’s Class continued with their fourth 1-2-3 result in succession. Tayla Jones took another step closer to claiming her first season AORC class championship with win number ten for the year, while Jemma Wilson and Emelie Karlsson again completed the remaining spots on the podium.

Kirk Hutton had already wrapped up the Veterans title coming into the weeked, but like Jones he also pushed his class victory tally into double figures for the year. In the Masters, MX1 Australia Suzuki Off-Road Team’s Trent Lean will head into the final two rounds of the AORC at his home track full of confidence following his double success in Kyogle.

In the juniors, Saturday’s winners backed it up again, with Husqvarna’s Fraser Higlett (J4), Yamaha’s Michael Driscoll (J3) and Kawasaki Junior KX Squad’s Mitchell Brierley (J2) all making it two from two for the weekend.

The 2015 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship now heads to its final destination in Monkerai, New South Wales, on 15-16 August for rounds 11 and 12 of the series.
