Fighters World Tour
in Mexico City.
X-FIGHTERS OPENER TO SHERWOOD
T
he opening round of the 2014 Red Bull X-Fight-
ers World Tour electrified Mexico City with
a freestyle motocross battle that set up rivalries
for a season that will span four continents. Levi
Sherwood, the 2012 World Tour Champion, was
crowned the victor, with up-and-coming Aussie
Josh Sheehan finishing second. Spaniard Dany
Torres, the 2011 series champ, finished third.
In an unexpected turn of events, 2013 cham-
pion Thomas Pagès was eliminated in the quar-
terfinals.
The competition went off in front of a sold-out
crowd of 38,000 spectators in the Monumental
Plaza de Toros bullring.
"I was really trying not to focus on who I was
riding against and to just do my best," said Sher-
wood. "As the season goes on I'll continue to
push and make my own way."
