Caroline Buchanan's Unstoppable Series Ep 1 "Return to Racing" Location: UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Series Shepparton Australia.
Statement from the Sakakibara family:
Firstly we would like to thank everyone for the kind messages, prayers and thoughts regarding Kai. It’s amazing to know he has touched so many people.
This is a very difficult time for all of us, but we felt it is important to share what we know at this moment. We need you all to be with us and with Kai throughout the next weeks and months.
As many of you are aware, Kai was involved in a serious racing accident on Saturday at the UCI BMX World Cup event in Bathurst. Medics and a doctor were on site and were able to manage the situation
ROUND 1/2 - Shepparton, Australia
The 2020 UCI BMX World Cup tour kicked off down under, with Shepparton (Australia) playing host to Rounds 1 and 2 for the first time in a decade. Buchanan was both upbeat and realistic prior to the opening day. "There's a silver lining to everything. I've had to be patient I guess to have two years out of the sport, but to wait until the opportunity we've never had - to race at four World Cups in two weekends in Australia between Shepparton and Bathurst is special" she said.
"For me the results are crucial, I'm ranked outside the top 50 in the world at the moment. But I think what better way to come back to the World Cup circuit than on home soil.” Buchanan continued.
Day 1 saw Buchanan battle her way through to the Quarter-Finals, clearly finding her feet and flow again, against the best racers in the world. Unfortunately, it was not enough to progress further.
Buchanan improved on her Day 1 Quarter-Finals result from the following day, reaching the Semi-Finals of a World Cup event for the first time since 2016 in Papendal, Holland.
Viewing the hitout as a successful return to competitive racing since her career was almost ended prematurely, Buchanan felt positive and noted the competition as having surprised her.
My first race weekend of the year in Shepparton, Australia, for round 1 and 2 of the UCI BMX SX World Cup.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
