New Zealand Motocross Championships - Patetonga Race Report

Race Report from Cody Cooper:

"Hey Everyone,

Another Quick rundown of the weekend at Patetonga for round 2 of the MX Nationals.
Started the day Qualifying 1st for gate pick, which was a concrete start.
I got the holeshot in the first moto and then lead to win it after a good little battle with Todd Waters.
Last two moto’s starts were not to good. Pulled though to win the 2nd moto, and a 2nd place in the last moto. That gave me 1st overall for the day.
I am really happy with how the day went and the people that have helped me get to here: Mike Barnes and John Appel, Suzuki, Motocity, BellRay oils, Pirelli, Renthal, AXO, One Industries helmets, Alpinestar boots, Zeta parts, Scott goggles, Hart & Huntington, DVS shoes, Yoshimura, Ward Demolition, Cti2 knee braces, bikesport nz, Koromiko engineering, Eco points.
And Shayne rice Photography for the photos.
