Nate Adams went into the final round with a substantial lead over Dany Torres. Unfortunately, the American also entered the Red Bull X-Fighters championship round in Australia with an injury. Adams couldn't hold onto his lead last night as a high-flying Torres took his first Red Bull X-Fighters title.
Adams ended in 11th in the event, which still put a substantial amount of pressure on Torres. Torres needed to claim fifth or higher. Knowing the spread, Torres decided to play it safe during the finale and finished third in the event.
Torres ended the season with two victories and twenty points over the defending champion.
Josh Sheehan ended the 2011 Red Bull X-Fighters season with a win on home soil, giving him enough points to claim fourth in the championship.
"I was confident I could do it and just went out and did it," said Sheehan. "That is was what won it for me."
