MXoN - 1st USA - 2nd Belgium - 3rd Germany - 8th New Zealand.
27 Sep: Race 3 and Ben Townley was in 2nd, with 6 laps to go when he crashed out.
In Race 3 Josh Coppins finished 14th. Ben finished 35th but it would only have elevated NZ to 7th, still 3 points behind Australia. Only 5 race scores count so Brad's 36th was the Race dropped.
We done New Zealand just to be in the Top10.
Tony just rang: "Just going into the Thor function - well pleased with 8th but it could have been 6th - In Race 2 Brad was holding 18th when he badly twisted his ankle - hence the slide to 36th - he's okay though - he's 'attracted' quite a bit of attention also - BT also hurt his ankle in his first race and part of the reason why he went down in the second. Gotta go - might ring later tonight."
It was later reported that Josh's Aprilia was overheating and lost power.
Team New Zealand: Tony Cooksley (Manager), Ben Townley (Open), Brad Groombridge (MX2) and Josh Coppins (MX1). Photo courtesy of Youthstream.
