Australia’s world number one Caroline Buchanan claimed her second victory in as many days and unheralded New Zealander Trent Jones upset a host of more fancied rivals to highlight round two of the BMX Australia National Series at Nerang on the Gold Coast today. Whilst Buchanan jumped out in front to lead from start to finish in the women’s race, avoiding the carnage behind her as three elite riders hit the ground on the second berm, it was 20-year-old Jones who stole the show, capitalising on an uncharacteristic slow start by Australian world champion and Olympic silver medallist Sam Willoughby to score the biggest win of his career.

Jones was in the lead at the first turn and despite the pressure of leading an elite field the Kiwi held off hard finishing world number four Anthony Dean and Gold Coast based Corey Frieswyk.

South Australian Dean’s second place complimented his win yesterday and was enough to ensure he remains at the head of the field after the series’ opening two rounds.

World number four Anthony Dean and golden girl Caroline Buchanan have taken out the opening round of the BMX Australia National Series at Nerang on the Gold Coast. Dean employed an energy saving tactic throughout what was a long, hot and humid day to perfection to storm victory in the men’s final from fellow Rio Olympic hopefuls Bodi Turner and Josh Callan.

In the elite women’s event, world number one Buchanan was too good for Western Australian surprise packet Kirsten Dellar and American Olympic finalist Brooke Crain (@brookecrain32).

In the men’s event Turner had looked the man to beat throughout

The date is 1 January 2015. The day new contracts start, or contracts end. Canada's main elite men rider Tory Nyhaug got the boot from Redline and will be shopping for a new ride. Here's what he had to say:

"After 7 successful years together, Redline and I have parted ways. I'm proud to have raced for such a great team and although this is an unexpected change, I'm looking forward to new opportunities and racing this year, especially with the Pan-Am Games and Olympics around the corner. I would like to thank my teammates and everyone at Redline for the support they have given me, especially Team Manager and friend Jason Carnes. See you at the races!”

Happy new year!
