Asked how she felt about racing in Argentina, Buchanan recalled that it had been quite a while since she had last visited the country, and that racing wasn’t the only priority this time around.
“Last time I was in Argentina I was nine years old racing the World Championships in 1999, so it’s great to be back,” she said. “I’ll also be visiting a children’s hospital and orphanage as part of my Buchanan ‘On Air’ series video. I’ll be giving the kids a DK bike and some jerseys.”
Fellow Australia riders Melinda McLeod and Lauren Reynolds will join Buchanan in Argentina this weekend, with McLeod currently tenth in the Supercross series, while Reynolds is 23rd. The Australian men’s charge at glory this weekend will be spearhead by Anthony Dean who currently sits in third in a tightly contested series leader board. A solid performance could vault him into the lead over Liam Phillips of Great Britain. Fellow Aussie Bodi Turner will also compete alongside Dean, and currently sits 28th in the series.
