NZ Supercross final round at Taupo this SaturdayAt Whakatane's Summercross Commentator Neil Ritchie said that Ben Townley was not entering the three round series due to commitments in Australia.Josh Coppins had only been back in the country for 12 days and only been back on the bike for 4 days. Reason being he had been plagued by a 'post op' infection in his shoulder that he had smashed at Coolum months earlier. At Summercross he did well to run third behind Ben Townley and Cody Cooper. He did not not make Timaru's first round but a week later he ran second to Cody Cooper on Saturday the 7th. Justin McDonald is also back from a broken finger - he had entered Summercross but withdrew at the last minute. In the Lites, great to see Scott Columb back after a long layoff. The Geran Stapleton in 2nd overall is over from Australia. Here are the Championship points:     |
