One last not on this weekends round of MX National racing, Josh Coppins will be making an announcement on his future during the lunch break at Appin regarding his racing future, or his non racing future. It will be interesting to find out in which direction Coppins will be heading.
One thing is for sure, we will be hoping he stays involved with the sport in some capacity here in Australian, yes he is a Kiwi but he has a lot to offer future generations of riders both here and in his come country with the amount of racing experience he has had on the world stage.
Rounds 9 and 10 of the Australian Off Road Championship were also meant to be contested in Conondale, Qld this weekend but have been cancelled due to weather. The good news for MX fans is that some of the top riders from the AORC series will be in action at Appin, including the series points leader Toby Price.
On the International front it is a little quiet this weekend, the final round of the SPEA Trials World Championship will be held in Carlisle, United Kingdom this weekend, though the championship has already been wrapped up by Toni Bou.
With no AMA or World GP on this weekend lets turn the attention over to what is happening locally in your state.
