DUNCAN CHANNELS HUNGER
GAMES IN MINI DOC
I
t was a long time coming for Kiwi girl racer
Courtney Duncan when she clinched the WMX
World Championship in 2019. Now ahead of
her 2020 title defence, Monster Energy has put
together a mini doco on our favourite Kiwi MX
international to showcase what makes the “Kiwi
Girl” tick.
Here’s the synopsis; “Kiwi rider Courtney Duncan
has been the fastest Motocross rider in the world
championship since bursting onto the scene in
2016. After absolutely dominating and winning
all but one of the nine races in 2019, she finally
fulfilled her childhood dream of being crowned
WMX World Champion.
“It hasn’t been all smooth sailing though, with
Duncan enduring three years of misfortune
and injury that prevented her from claiming a
championship. After leading the series during
her debut season in 2016, she was forced to

the sideline with injury when she crashed into a
photographer who was standing on the race track.
Even as the new kid on the block, Duncan won
five of the 14 races in 2016, more than any other
individual that year, and this was even after her
run-in with the photographer.
“In the following year, a controversial jury decision
denied her the 2017 title when the race was
stopped at the final round while she was leading.
In 2018 with just 2 races left, an injury to a bone in
her right foot and further damage to the ligaments
that surround it forced her to again withdraw from
the title chase.
“This made her 2019 WMX World Championship
title all the sweeter. “
