Motoworks' French Champion, Romain Couprie, has made the long trip over from Europe, and the last time he raced in the ATV MX Nationals was in 2006 at Red Bud, where he finished 11th Overall.

Courpie, visited the US last year, but he raced in the Quadcross Series at Glen Helen, so it will be interesting to see how well he does this weekend at Steel City

A well earned win. Moto 1 had him way back and he powered his way to the front...moto 2 he had amuch better start and once he took control of the lead he was on a mission.

Hell of a great ride Josh!

Hey Pappy....a couple of questions about the pros.

What happened to Chad in the first moto ???

Also, what's up with Joe...is he out for the season ???
Have not heard anything about him since he got hurt.

Pappy
06-03-2010, 06:41 PM
Not really sure. Chad seemed well off the pace....I did not see any reason for it but I miss stuff when things are hopping!

Joe is beat up pretty good inside....but I have no info on his expected return date.

I just take the pics and enjoy the racing, I leave the interviews and junk to those who do those things:p
