    Courtney Duncan would have it no other way


    The 25-year-old Dunedin rider is relishing the pressure she will be under next weekend to defend her women's motocross world championship title in Italy.

    Duncan insists a fractured finger suffered in the first race in Spain overnight won't hamper her, as she takes a 16-point lead into the final round.



    Duncan's looking for a third-successive title.
