Coppins one last time in NZ - Then back to Europe

Josh Coppins is the world No.3, but he doesn’t deserve to be. The man from Motueka actually deserves to be world No.1 and he’ll demonstrate exactly that when he climbs on his big blue and white 450cc Yamaha at this weekend’s 47th annual New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville. The weekend’s (January 25-27) $25,000 prizemoney motocross welcomes the return of the Kiwi superstar.

Hurley on target for double

Hawera’s Daryl Hurley wants to be the best of both worlds. The Team Suzuki No.1 is confident he can add the New Zealand open class supercross crown to the 500cc motocross title he picked up last November. If he can achieve that -- and the odds strongly favour the 30-year-old Kiwi international -- then he would be the country’s best dirt bike rider this season in both the outdoor and stadium versions of the sport.
