New Zealand's Levi Sherwood has won the fifth stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour, held at Battersea Power Station in London.

The 19-year-old Palmerston North rider kept a cool head in front of 30,000 fans packed into the former coal-fired power station as he performed a vast array of aerial tricks.

Sherwood now lies just 20 points behind series leader Andrè Villa in the freestyle motocross event.

The final round of the Tour will take place in the Stadio Flaminio, famous for having hosted the 1960 Olympic Games and home of the Italian national rugby team.
