MNZ have announced the name of the New Zealand MX des Nations team member to replace Darryl King, who was injured at Round 3 of the Blue Wing Honda National MX series. As expected that rider is brother Shayne and not a bad substitute at all!
So the line up is:
Josh Coppins, Ben Townley and Shayne King.
Mike McLeod is the manager and a fine choice for Media Liason is the ever popular and long serving Neil Ritchie.
These are some of the talented riders/teams the Kiwis will be facing off against:
Team America; Carmichael, Ferry, Larocco
Team France; Tortelli, Pichon, Demaria.
Team Australia; Reed, Anderson, McFarlane [Byrne]
Team South Africa; Langston, Rattray Dugmore.
Team Japan; Atsuta, Narita, Odogiri.
Team Italy; Bartolini, Chiodi, Puzar.
Team Britain; Cooper, Dobbs, Noble.
Good luck guys, this is your chance to make a name for yourselves and for N.Z.
The event is to be staged at a newly built MX complex in Southern California on September 28/29. Tickets are reported to be selling well and a crowd of 30,000 is expected.
