Josh Coppins, Ben Townley and Brad Groombridge made up Team New Zealand for the 64th MXoN, which was held in Denver Colorado this past weekend. 32000 fans turned up to the huge event, cheering on 30 of the world’s best motocross nations.

Josh Coppins enjoyed a solid weekend of racing on board his Aprilia machine, resulting in the 7th best placing in the MX1 class, and supporting New Zealand to a respectable 8th overall in the event.

‘Lizzard’, who has recently retired from Grand Prix racing, now heads home to New Zealand to enjoy some family time, ahead of next season where he will contest the Australian Motocross Championship.
