COPPINS WINS AT NZ SUPERCROSS:
Motorcycle ace Josh Coppins has totally dominated the New Zealand
supercross championship event in his home town Motueka.
The Honda star cruised through the weekend virtually unbeaten against
opposition headed by former world runner-up Darryll King.
Along the way Coppins picked up South Island titles on both his 250 and 450
four-stroke Honda racebikes. And he leads the New Zealand title chase,
although he won\'t be in the country to contest the later rounds.
\"It\'s always good to race at the Rat Track where I grew up as a rider,\"
commented 26-year-old Coppins.
\"This weekend went really well and I\'m happy with my progress in fitness
and on the bike.\"
The nation\'s top motorcycle racer, Coppins flies out next week to begin his
European preparation for the world championship beginning in March.
Riding for the Honda factory, he is a leading contender in the glamour
class MX1. He took runner-up spot two years ago but was sidelined by
serious injury in 2003.
