Misfortune strikes Coppins at Loket
01 August 2007
24,000 spectators witnessed Yamaha Motocross Team's Josh Coppins experience the ill-fortune that motocross racing can occasionally serve at the eleventh round of fifteen in the FIM MX1 World Championship; the Grand Prix of Czech Republic held at a chilly and showery Loket circuit. The 30 year old New Zealander failed to pick up points in either race after suffering with unpredictable brake trouble. He finished twenty-second in the first moto after a stone jammed the rear brake pedal and locked the back end solid, causing the Kiwi - who was running in third place at the time - to stop and lose almost a lap. In the second outing a similar strike of bad luck caused Josh to loose brake pressure because of a leaking rear brake hose that was a result of a small collision with another competitor. With no rear braking power he crashed at the bottom of the steep downhill. He was forced to retired with a painful shoulder.
