INTERVIEW AND PHOTOGRAPHY David K Shields
With a driving ambition to conquer the world of Grand Prix motorcycle racing, CORMAC BUCHANAN is heading into his rookie year as a starting rider in the Moto3 World Championship with Spanish team BOE Racing – chasing his dream full throttle!
My goal wasn’t to be Moto3, or Moto2 World Champion – and it’s not even getting to MotoGP. It’s to be a MotoGP World Champion – no one’s ever done that from my country. CORMAC BUCHANAN
When everything clicks, anything’s possible. It’s definitely more exciting for me this year, knowing how much quicker the bikes are. It’s almost like you start from scratch again and don’t know what to expect; a brand new challenge.
There’s a saying, ‘You live more in 10 seconds on a motorbike than most people will in their lifetime’. Everyone has their own ‘something’, and I think I’m lucky to have found mine. It’s important I always remember, that I feel this to be my destiny.
