Olympic silver medallist Sam Willoughby and world number two Caroline Buchanan will spearhead the Australian team in the third round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series in Angelholm, Sweden this weekend. No less than 17 Australian riders will be in action, ready to once again take it to the best riders in the world in what will be the first international hit out since the UCI BMX World Championships in Belgium last month.

The elite men’s field will once again be a who’s who of world BMX, as Willoughby attempts to claim his first world cup win of the season from the likes of reigning world champion Niek Kimman and two-time Olympic gold medallist Maris Strombergs.

This weekend’s UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Angelholm will be Marc Willer’s last international race as he winds down his 12-year pro career and retires at the end of 2015. Willers laid out the reason for ending his career in his usual frank manner: “It sucks losing. And that’s been happening for so long that racing isn’t fun any more. The last thing I want is to start hating the sport I love.”
