Coppins Wins Spanish MXGP

  • Coppins Wins Spanish MXGP

Factory Yamaha Rinaldi rider, Josh Coppins, has dominated the second round of the FIM Motocross World championships in Bellpuig, Spain.   Rain showers on Saturday forced organizers to cancel the qualification sessions which meant riders only had an a combined warm up and timed training session to get accustomed to the muddy circuit. 

Coppins posted second fastest time and rolled onto the line for the first moto with confidence.  He just missed out on the hole-shot to American, Mike Brown, however it didn’t take the Kiwi long to take over the lead and build a comfortable cushion.  Coppins controlled the race from the front and took the first victory with 20 seconds to spare.

Powering his YZ450F to the hole-shot in moto 2,  Coppins was unchallenged as he put his head down and once again worked on a steady lead.   A faultless ride saw the New Zealander cruise to his first double victory of the season to take maximum points.

“I’m really happy with the result today. After Valkenswaard we worked on a whole bunch of little things and these have definitely helped.  The Yamaha has been really awesome on the hard circuits so I came into this race with a lot of confidence and a good feeling. The weather made the track conditions difficult and one-lined and I knew it was important to get a good start.  I need to stay focused and take this momentum through to Portugal next weekend” explained Coppins.

Coppins will return to  Belgium for a few days before heading to Agueda in Portugal with a 19 point lead in the MX1 World championship.
