British championship lead within Coppins’s grasp.
The sixth round of the British MX1 championship has been dominated by CAS Honda star, Joshua Coppins. The Kiwi has closed to within three points of the championship lead and with two rounds to go a hard fought title defence seems eminent. Overnight rainfalls made for a muddy, one lined, Landrake circuit, nevertheless organisers were pleased to see a strong crowd turn out and some exciting battles.
Coppins blitzed through the days racing with domination. He posted the fastest qualifying time, hole-shot both motos and ran away with two victories to gain maximum points and his third consecutive British round win.
“The track was really wet to start off with which made it rough, very technical and one lined.. It rained hard during the night but after practice the track started to dry out a bit. I tried to win as easy as possible in order to conserve energy for the GP next week in Belgium. The championship chase is really close now with three of us within three points of each other. Should make things really exciting,” explained Coppins.
