BMX Race Report
NBL Gator Nationals Sarasota, Florida

Round 5 of the 2007 NBL/UCI Pro Series tour took place this past weekend in Tampa, Florida at the Sarasota BMX race track. One of the oldest, most used tracks on the NBL Pro tour, the Sarasota track is one of the best in BMX. The weather was great for racing and the huge international field in attendance made for some great racing. With 3 important weekends of BMX racing taking place for the UCI World and Continental rankings, the Double A Marketing Pros in attendance were ready to race and wound up once again with impressive results. Here are how they finished up in the main events.

Cristian Becerine has been on a hot streak of great results and wins up to Phoenix, where instead, he did a lot of crashing. Leave it to one of the top Pros in BMX to come back stronger than ever and take home another huge win. Cristian did just that on Sunday, as he holeshotted and lead the entire lap of the Elite Men's main event. Cristian also finished an impressive 4th in Elite Men on Saturday. Cristian now has a huge lead in the NBL Pro Title points chase and looks to add his first NBL Pro title to his impressive resume. .

Kyle Bennett made his return to the NBL Pro National Series this past weekend after his knee surgery at the end of last season. Kyle has always been a strong racer, but to come back from such a big injury and be at the top of the Elite Class is almost impossible. Almost, but not for Kyle as he made a huge statement to the entire class on Saturday as he convincingly took a huge win in the Pro Open Class main event. On Sunday, Kyle backed up his win with another huge result - 2nd in Elite Men's, just behind Cristian. Kyle looks to jump right back into the swing of things and be his old self. We sure are glad to see Kyle back at the track and on top of the podium!

Randy Stumpfhauser was red hot in Phoenix just last week and he looked to carry his momentum into Tampa. With what was one of the toughest Elite Men's classes at the 2007 UCI series to date, Randy easily made the main event both days. On Saturday, Randy would finish 5th in the Elite main event. On Sunday, Randy looked for a better finish and did so with a 4th overall. Randy was a bit disappointed as he was looking for another win in the NBL series, but he will get his change again next weekend in Orlando.

Joey Bradford had a small crash at the ABA Phoenix national last Sunday and it was a nagging injury that he dealt with all week. Joey came to Florida with one thing on mind and that was to win the Junior Elite Men's class on Saturday. With the valuable UCI points on the line, Joey pushed through his pain and raced. It was no easy task as some of the worlds top Junior Elite racers were in attendance, but Joey walked away with another win in the Junior Elite Class on Saturday. This makes a perfect season for Joey in the NBL / UCI Junior Elite Class with 5 wins and he looks forward to getting his 6th next weekend at the next round of the NBL UCI series in Orlando, Florida.
