Racer X Monday Conversation: Josh Coppins April 16, 2007 2007 is a turning out to be a great year for the country of New Zealand. New Zealand’s Josh Coppins is in control of the MX1 World Motocross Championship after only two rounds, and his friend and fellow Kiwi Ben Townley is hoping to be a East Region Supercross Lites Champion next weekend in Detroit (though Ryan Morais certainly has other plans). Now go find New Zealand on a map. With a 1-2 at round one in sand and a very strong showing in mud Sunday in Spain, Coppins already is19 points in the lead ahead of Belgian Kevin Srijbos. Coppins was the only rider to upset Everts last year and ruin his perfect-season chances, and he’s got it together so much right now, one has to wonder already can he win every round himself? It’s way too early for that, but if you saw him check out in moto 2 ay Bellpuig, you would have said that looks like RC at a national when Stewart isn’t there. He led every lap of moto 2, and checked out so fast and so far, it was as if he were in a different race. In moto 1, the only laps he didn’t lead were the first three when he was trying to get around Mike Brown. We asked Josh for a few minutes as he was rushing back to the paddock at Bellpuig to see what this was all about.
