This report is from Josh's manager, Glen Dempsey. Visit Josh @ his Website: Josh Coppins.com: It features the Kiwi`s latest news, pictures, profile, wallpapers, etc.
Twenty-eight-year-old Josh Coppins (pictured) has ridden to third overall at the third round of the British MX championship in Lyng where he had his second ride in defense of his British title. “Lizzard” grabbed the hole-shot in race one and looked set to do battle with fellow Honda rider Paul Cooper. Cooper managed to get by Coppins and rode to victory with Coppins closely following just two seconds off the pace.
Roles were reversed in the second race when Coppins aboard his CAS Honda flew past the South African expat and seemed to be well on his way to victory. It was not to be the Kiwi’s day when another Honda rider, James Noble was having a superb ride and passed his fellow “red riders” with two laps to go. Coppins again had to settle for second.
“I just ran out of energy, “ explained the Kiwi. “I felt better than in Zolder which is a good sign that I am getting back to normal. We had my blood checked last week and there was a serious iron and magnesium deficiency which I am now replenishing as fast as possible. The track was really rough and quite sandy but really good to ride on. I should be close to full strength for the next GP in Spain next week.”
Coppins has climbed a position to fourth place in the championship standings after missing the first round due to injury.
