Aussie BMX sensation Caroline Buchanan has made a real statement of intent after finishing second in the time trial at UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Santiago del Estero, Argentina while Bodi Turner also got in on the action to finish third. Under perfect weather conditions, it came down to the riders themselves to perform at their best in front of a raucous crowd, all while coming to grips with a track that has seen changes to the second and third straight.
It was a return to form for Buchanan after a disappointing result at the previous round in Sweden, with the result setting up a mouth watering clash with crowd favourite and reigning Olympic champion Mariana Pajon, after the Columbian got the better of Buchanan by .43 seconds. Lauren Reynolds was also in action, holding the quickest time for a brief moment before eventually finishing in seventh.
Buchanan praised the changes made to the track, and highlighted the fantastic role the crowd had played throughout the day.
