Making the Most of an Afternoon in NYC (BMX) by Billy Perry Bmx
Australian Olympian and former BMX World Champion Caroline Buchanan has fired the first warning shot on the road to Rio by winning round one of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. After finishing second by four one hundredths of a second in yesterday’s time trial, 25-year-old Buchanan returned to the track today to lead every single lap contested from the motos to final, inevitably beating home world time trial champion Mariana Pajon and Dutch rider Laura Smulders in the final.
The 2016 UCI BMX World Cup series is the gateway to the Olympic games for BMX racers, so the 2016 season is the most important races for a rider looking to make their way into the games. The Chase BMX Pro team headed into the year with the World Cups as their main focus, along with the USA BMX events and the season is now upon us.
