HOW THEY STACK UP | Bikesportnz

Some very strong teams will be lining up for the sixth annual Battle of the Clubs Motocross at Taupo this coming weekend.

The racing will be intense as riders line up under club banners for this fundraiser event, to support New Zealand’s bid for glory at the Motocross of Nations in France in September.

The host Taupo club, two-time winners at this Battle of the Clubs event on Saturday, look rock-solid with former world MX2 and AMA supercross champion Ben Townley leading the way, while the Nelson MCC also looks awesome with current national MX2 champion Jay Wilson a late addition, the Australian visitor riding alongside two-time former world MX No.2 Josh Coppins.

Several other former Team New Zealand Motocross of Nations team riders Kayne Lamont, Brad Groombridge, Kieran Scheele, Daryl Hurley, John Phillips, Hamish Harwood, Cody Cooper and Darryll King also add spark to their respective teams.
