Interview with Donny Robinson – Elite Cruiser #1 Title

How do you feel about your win?
Its obviously big for me. My ultimate goals are winning such titles. My whole career has been hard so I have to start somewhere and mentally this is good for me.

Randy Stumpfhauser gave you a good race all season, was there a rivalry there?
Battling with Stumpy all year was rough. He is strong mentally and physically, so I knew the NBL Elite Cruiser title was not going to be easy to win, especially since we went into the Grands tied in points. I believe we both ride fair with each other and have a great amount of respect for what we both can do, so its always a good race between us."

How does it feel taking over the title?
This time it would be my race and I would finish ahead of Stumpy. I am the first person to dethrone Stumpy for any cruiser title in some four years.

What about the ABA Pro Cruiser title?
I am currently leading in the ABA Pro Cruiser points as well and hope to have a sizeable lead going into the ABA Grands with that title chase and relieve some of the pressure that comes with the points gap. I know it will be a great race regardless.

What are your goals for next year?
I hope to be in this position next year in both ABA/NBL Elite Men title chase. Winning titles in both sanctions along with hitting huge races like UCI.

Anyone you would like to thank?
I would like to thank my sponsors; Avent Cycles, Bombshell Parts, Fly Racing, FSA, Monster Energy Drink, Spy Optics, Tioga Tires, Lizard Skins, CytoSport, Shimano, SponsorHouse.com, SixSixOne, PureFit; for all the help and support and the fans and kids for the ongoing motivation to work towards being the best."
