NBL Gator National, Tampa, Florida

Round 3 of the NBL 2005 Pro Series race series was held in Tampa, Florida this past weekend. With the NBL season still new in the title chase, it is all up for grabs for any one rider to step up and take a demanding lead in the #1 Pro chase. On the back end of 2 consecutive weeks in Florida, some of the riders had made the trip back and forth home after Round 2 in Orlando last weekend while a few stayed in Florida to ride and have some fun. Either way, the Double A Marketing riders had a great weekend in Tampa and made the fans excited. Here are how the riders finished up for the weekend:

Kyle Bennett, last seasons NBL #1 Pro has had a solid year so far in 2005. With consistency on his side, Kyle is once again one of the riders who is near the top of the early points lead. On Saturday, Kyle had a strong race, over jumped the first jump just a bit but was able to hold on for 3rd overall. On Sunday, Kyle was back and this time was up in the front again, again taking a 3rd overall in AA Pro. One of the best pros on the circuit lets his racing do the talking and 2005 has been a big year for him so far.Kyle's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Answer, Sun Ringle, UGP, Truvativ, Velo, S&M bars, ATI, Shimano, Profile, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Randy Stumpfhauser always does his best to take care of his fans with impressive results and a friendly word, and once again Randy didn't let anyone down with some great results and time for everyone. On Saturday, Randy missed out the AA main, but came back to take a win in Pro Cruiser. Sunday, Randy was focused on AA Pro and when the gate dropped, he took off looking for a good result. Randy finished 2nd overall and then went onto win Pro Cruiser once again.

Brandon Meadows once again came alive on a good track. On Saturday, Brandon was out front in AA Pro and was one of the riders to watch throughout the day. In the semi, unfortunately Brandon had some rider crash in front of him, keeping him out of the AA Main. On Sunday, Brandon was back and this time it was in Pro Open, and he was in the main and just missed the podium with a 4th. Look for some bif things in the near future from him.

Cristian Becerine rode a lot stronger than his 5th place in AA Pro on Saturday showed.

With a strong fan base of the South American Riders, Cristian was around friends and had a good time and will be back better and stronger at the next national.Cristian's sponsors include Crupi, O'Neal, Answer, UGP, ODI, Sun Ringle, Shimano, Tool Shed, Powerbar, BMXpros.com, Cyto Sport, and Thomson Seat Posts.
