Without a doubt if Coppins was on the NZ team for MXoN they would be rated number one. Right about now they don't look so hot with Hurley not really back to speed and full fitness from his injuries (rode the last three Australian MX Championships with a broken collarbone!).
The Aust team is far from full strength and will be a team of guys that would be more at home standing around a BBQ cooking a prawn rather than duking it out with the World's best racers!
Strength team for Australia would have been:
Dan Reardon : 450 / SOBE Samsung ex-Windham bike (Kawi won't let him ride a different colour!)
Chad Reed : 450 / after a full outdoor season this year!
Brett Metcalfe : 250 / No need to write anything!
The actual team is:
Michael Byrne : 450 / Rockstar with backyard components
Chad Reed : 450 / Fitness and concentration ?? He has the speed!
Andrew McFarlane: 250 / His bike may ruin our chances?
What are your thoughts?
