Coppins concedes to injury

New Zealand motorcross star Josh Coppins has revealed he's
fighting a losing battle to win his first MX1 championship.

The Motueka rider returned from a month off with a shoulder
injury for the penultimate round in England last weekend but not
only lost his championship lead but aggravated his problems.

Coppins now says he's 99 percent certain to miss the final round
in the Netherlands this weekend.

The Belgium-based rider admits he's gutted saying he was clearly
the best rider in the series until being struck down with injury.

The twice runner up in the Motor Cross World Championships
hasn't bothered to do even done the maths to see where he might
finish overall if he doesn't start this weekend. tvnz.co.nz
