World Championships in June, was again at her very best finishing a close second to Columbian Marian Pajon, to set up a mouth watering day of racing tomorrow as she looks to secure her second Supercross World Cup series victory. Having already won two of the three world cup events so far this year in Manchester and Berlin, Buchanan currently leads the series standings, and has a great opportunity tomorrow to set an unassailable lead going into the last event in Chula Vista, USA at the end of September.
Australian’s Melinda McLeod, Lauren Reynolds and Kirsten Dellar will join Buchanan tomorrow, having safely navigated their way through the challenging qualification rounds.
In the elite men Australian Anthony Dean didn’t have his best performance in the Time Trial finishing 16th behind winner and overall series leader Liam Phillips of Great Britain.
A third placed Dean will need to be at his best tomorrow if he is to make up the fifty-point difference to Phillips and will be joined on the start ramp by fellow Aussie and 2014 National Series champion Bodi Turner. It promises to be an action packed day of racing from Santiago del Estero tomorrow morning, with racing scheduled to get underway at 4.30am AEST.
