Courtney Duncan: Backing it up…

As title chases go, they do not come much tighter than what we witnessed in the 2020 FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship, where no less than four riders still had a chance of becoming World Champion going into the final race of the season. While we thought the 2017 fight was tight, but even this one eclipsed that, as two riders ended the year tied on points at the top of the championship standings.

During the off-season, the new two-time WMX World Champion, Courtney Duncan, flew back home to her native New Zealand for a well-earned rest after what was, on reflection at least, a mentally and physically demanding 2020 campaign.

MXGP Magazine caught up with her just before Christmas to get her thoughts on how the season panned out, a season which threw up everything from pre-season injuries, COVID-19, huge crashes and come from behind victories.
