The Grand Prix of Spain at a sunny Bellpuig circuit in Catalunya for the second round of the FIM Motocross World Championship has been a memorable day for Yamaha with Josh Coppins winning both motos in the MX1 class, for his second consecutive success with the YZ450FM. Antonio Cairoli won a thrilling duel with World Champ Christophe Pourcel on the last lap of the second MX2 moto to seal his second GP victory in a row, watched by an appreciative 22,300 crowd.

The 2007 campaign is only two events old but already Yamaha remain unbeaten thanks to the talents of the New Zealander and Sicilian respectively. The weather could not have been more varied in the north-east of the country. The huge swing from dark clouds and never-ending rain on Saturday to the sunny skies and high temperatures on Sunday afternoon caused the track to change from a swamp to a rutted and very bumpy prospect that made overtaking tricky because of the emphasis on a single line.

James Stewart
HOST: James, it was a pretty good summer for you, you gotta be looking forward to the race this weekend.

JAMES: Yeah, it should be good coming off the summer, here I just want to get through this and have fun. It’s a good event and I haven’t raced it since ’99. Last year I tried and had some bad luck. I’m just excited about getting through this and getting ready for the upcoming supercross season.

HOST: We have the Toyota Trifecta on line – it’s something you’ve never been involved with before where the qualifying lap and the holeshot contributes to how much money you can make. Have you thought about that, is there any change in strategy for you to go out and get all the money?
