With six rounds to
go of the 2007 MX1 World Motocross Championship series Kiwi Josh “Lizard” Coppins
held a healthy 107 point lead and felt confident it was his year to take the title.
He was the only rider to beat 2006 champion Stefan Everts on his way to a 10th
crown the previous year, and filling Everts shoes in the Rinaldi Yamaha Team he
was odds-on favourite to do the job.

it his all at the British GP in his final attempt to retain the 2008 crown.

To many motocross racing
enthusiasts the name Jeff Leisk signals memories of – “He was one of the
greats”, “A motocross racing legend”, “A great pioneer of the sport”, “The first
Aussie to win a round of the world motocross championship”.
The name Jeff Leisk nowadays
is more commonly associated with the man who’s driving KTM motorcycles in Australia – a very
humble man who goes about his work in a quiet, but determined manner. A man
you’d never know the extent of his past if you weren’t already familiar with
his background.
I recently spoke to Jeff
Leisk asking him about his racing career, how it started, the highs and lows he
experienced, competing overseas, the state of the sport in Australia, and
how he has adapted to life after a successful racing career that spanned close
to three decades.
