Caroline Buchanan has started 2010 with a bang, at the first round of the BMX UCI Champs at Nerang on the Gold Coast. Caroline spent her Christmas break at a training camp in the USA, so coming into Nerang she was feeling at full strength. Over the 3 day event, Caroline racked up 2 firsts and a second, which was enough to come out overall winner, over a packed field of high class competitors including numerous Americans who have made the trip over.

Caroline has an absolutely packed year, juggling her time between Professional BMX and Mountain Bike Championships, as well as numerous Elite Development training programs. This week she will be based on the Gold Coast with coach Wade Bootes before next weekends racing in Sydney.

Good luck Caroline!
