Mount Maunganui ’ s Cody Cooper ( Honda CRF450 ), again one of the favourites to win
the COVID-19 pandemic .” He said the 2021 Honda New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville will be livestreamed on the Sky Sport Next programme , which will also be a first for the event , allowing bike fans from across the country and around the world to watch the event live on television , laptops , cell phones or tablets . While plenty of international visitors have won the event in the past , it is worth noting that Kiwi riders are world class too and it is home-grown talent that has tended to dominate at Woodville over the years . There have been 31 different overall winners at Woodville over the past 59 years and only 12 riders have won there more than once since the inaugural event in 1961 .
Multi-time national MX1 champion Cody Cooper is a three-time former winner at Woodville – the top man there in 2007 , 2014 and again in 2019 – and he ’ d like nothing better than to win it again . A predominantly young man ’ s sport , it ’ s uncertain how many more years Cooper will have at the top level and the high-risk sport can be unforgiving and brutal at times , but Cooper is not ready to hang up his helmet just yet and winning the Honda New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville is definitely the first on his “ to do ” list for 2021 .
