Two weeks after opening their 2009 motocross calendar with a shakedown meeting at the Starcross International at Mantova, the renamed Yamaha Monster Energy Motocross Team accelerated their progress and preparations for the upcoming FIM MX1-GP World Championship – in which they will enter as title holders for the fourth time in five years – by celebrating a double podium appearance at the Valence International in central France yesterday.
The 2009 version of the YZ450FM was fiery off the line permitting the distinctive black and green colours of the motorcycles to be seen at the very front of the field in all three outings. Although the team use the pre-season international events as viable testing opportunities, Philippaerts was uncompromising and determined against numerous Grand Prix peers and factory representation from four other manufacturers.
Coppins, who has been splitting his time between training in Italy and spending time in the UK with his new daughter Myla, tackled a few technical issues with his motorcycle but was still a protagonist. He followed his team-mate in Moto1, beat Marc de Reuver to 3rd in Moto2 and was 5th in the last race.
