It did not turn out that way, though, as Coppins had technical issues which kept him from finishing high enough to take the Championship. That honor went to Davide Guarneri for 2010.

Husaberg Rider Joakim Ljunggren Has a Great Race at Spanish IEWC

The 2010 Indoor Enduro World Cup's penultimate round was held in Vigo, Spain, recently. Husaberg rider Ljunggren managed an overall second place at the event. This proves his improvements are beginning to take effect and he is challenging for the lead in this new series for Ljunggren. Since this is his first season on the indoor tracks, this is a significant improvement. The other Husaberg representatives, Oriol Mena and Xavi Galindo, had differing results - Mena qualified for his event for the first time in 2010 (it's also his first year in the series), but Galindo crashed hard in his final race and was taken to the hospital.
