Big Van World MTX Kawasaki's Courtney Duncan took over the series lead in the FIM World WMX Women’s Motocross Championship with victory for the third consecutive year in Arroyomolinos, Spain.

The New Zealander was once again dominant on her KX™250 as she raced to her first double-moto victory of the season and her twenty-first career GP victory to place her in a tie for first in the all-time series records. She was closed down by another rider out of the gate but, secure in the knowledge that her strength, endurance and speed would serve her well, she didn't panic. Quickly to fifth in sticky conditions with deep ruts building in many turns due to the track-watering necessary to combat the intense heat, she chose her lines cleverly to avoid coming together with her rivals, picking them off one-by-one to move to the front on the fourth of 11 laps, eventually cruising home to victory by seven seconds. The Kiwi girl now takes a 10-point lead to the next round of the series at Villars-sous-Ecot, France in two weeks' time while Kawasaki also extended the lead in the FIM Manufacturers' Championship to sixteen points courtesy of Duncan's double-moto victory.
