Travelling across the Tasman Sea is Andrew Buchanan with his Australian passenger, Denny Cox. Buchanan sat down with Motorcycling Australia to discuss his preparation in the lead up to the event, highlighting that “We’re not too confident heading into the 2019 FIM Oceania Speedway Sidecar Championship, simply because we haven’t had enough practice at Gillman.
“The track is very challenging so it’s best to have as much time on it as possible before an event.
“That being said, we’re excited for the upcoming challenge and can’t wait to compete against a collection of world class talent.
“2019 marks our fourth Championship at Gillman. We’ve definitely racked up some experience thanks to the past three Championships, which has increased our standard as well as the overall standard of the event,” explained Buchanan.
