Argentina Grand Prix – MotoGP 3
At the Termas de Río Hondo circuit in Argentina, the Denssi BOÉ Motorsports team carried confidence from the season opener. Both riders tackled the Friday practice sessions ready to build on their early momentum. The Argentine track was new to them, but they worked diligently with the team to learn its fast, flowing layout. Come qualifying, Buchanan and Moodley once again found themselves fighting in the ultra-tight midfield – a few tenths of a second made the difference in starting positions. They lined up side-by-side on the grid, determined to push each other forward in Sunday’s race.
The Grand Prix itself turned into a close-fought slipstream battle, typical of Moto3. Cormac Buchanan and Ruché Moodley rode nose-to-tail for much of the race, effectively working as a tandem amid a large pack of riders. In the end, Buchanan clinched 15th place — just ahead of his teammate — to grab the final point on offer. Moodley crossed the line in 16th, only a fraction of a second behind Buchanan after a race-long duel. The duo’s tight finish (separated by mere 0.136s) showed how evenly matched and competitive they were. In fact, Buchanan was noted as the top rookie finisher in 14th on corrected results, “just ahead of his BOÉ teammate Moodley in 15th” – indicating Moodley very nearly joined him in the points.
The key takeaway from Argentina was the consistent progress and teamwork between the Denssi BOÉ riders. They swapped positions at times and learned from each other’s lines. Buchanan’s second consecutive points finish and Moodley’s close P16 demonstrated their grit. Both riders gained invaluable experience in managing slipstreams and late braking battles at high speed. Every lap in this close race was a growth opportunity, and the pair delivered another double finish for the team.
Even without a big points haul, Denssi’s brand image got a boost from the team’s performance in Argentina. Fans saw the Denssi logo featured in thrilling on-track battles as Buchanan and Moodley fought within a large group. The partnership’s values of determination and progress were on full display – the riders never gave up, reflecting Denssi’s commitment to excellence. The close finish even had commentators noting the Denssi BOÉ bikes coming home together, underlining the sponsor’s presence. This race reinforced that Denssi is not just along for the ride, but actively represented in the competitive spirit shown by the team.
