Radar: 2015 AUS-X Open

Unsung performers we spotted in Sydney last weekend.

MotoOnline.com.au highlights three standout performances from the weekend’s inaugural AUS-X Open at Sydney’s Allphones Arena. Radar isn’t strictly about the winners, it’s about the unsung racers that we spot performing above expectations on any given race weekend.

Daniel McCoy (SFC Racing Yamaha) – SX1, 5-4 results:
In his home round of supercross, SX1 mainstay Daniel McCoy starred on board his privateer SFC Racing Yamaha YZ450F at AUS-X Open. Fifth on night one was a confidence-booster, before he improved to fourth on the second day.

Cheyne Boyd (Park4MX Yamaha) – SX1, 9-6 results:
Admitting his testing time was at zero prior to AUS-X Open, Cheyne Boyd came out of retirement for the weekend and looked right at home in the tight confines of Allphones Arena. And his whips were some of the most memorable all weekend!

Robbie Marshall (Showtime FMX Honda) – SX1, 11-7 results:
Fans were able to see versatile Queenslander Robbie Marshall in his normal job out front of Allphones Arena performing with Showtime FMX, before also seeing him race both nights and make the main event! But the highlight for many was his back-flip over the freestyle-type finish, delighting the packed crowd.
