down
his lo0th
career
vic-
tory,
Srefan Everts
pulled
off another
win
at the
British Grand
Prix.
On a
warm
day at
the new
Matterly
Basin
t
Circuit in
the south
of England,
the
defending
champion
went
l- I for his
eiShth straight
victory
Only
this time
a crash
in the second
moto
of the
MXI class showed
he does
not need
to lead
early
to
dominate,
Competition
continues
to mount
for Everts,
however. The British GP
also marked
the
return
ofJosh
Coppins,
who
made
an imPressive
return
to the
series after
a shoulder
iniury He went
straight into
the
top spot as
he took
the
holeshot
in the
opening MXI
moto,
his first
race of the
year, His 3-5
gave
him third
overall,
a magnilicent
performance considering
he says
he
is still
"far
from
100
percent 0t."
"l
think
Josh
surprised
even,one
to be back
so
soon and on
the
podium,"

Everts
said of CoPPins.''
However,
Evers'
greatest rival this
year,
with-
out
question, continues
to be
Kevin Striibos,
whoce

the day
gave
him
