FORMULA FACTORY TEAM HEATS UP WINTERNATIONALS

“Phoenix, Arizona The Formula Bicycles factory team rolled into Black Mountain BMX last weekend to do some damage on the ABA side of the coin. With Mike Lundy taking a break for the winter, Donny Robinson, Amanda Geving, Warren McDow, and Chad Kerley were all ready to flex some Formula muscle on the track where it counts.”"Donny Robinson has been the hottest Pro on the planet lately and Phoenix was no exception. Coming off his first ever Elite Mens double the week prior at the NBLs Nellis national, dR was amped to make his mark in the ABA. I feel like Im on top of the world right now, stated Robinson and with good reason. Donny came into the Winters leading every Pro points category (20 and cruiser) in the ABA, NBL, and UCI. Donny was feelin it on Saturday easily powering through motos. In the main, dR proved once again that hes the man to beat right now powering his Formula Solution Pro to a decisive win. dR backed it up in Pro Cruiser with another start-to-finish victory for his first-ever same-day Pro double. On Sunday, Robinson once again rocked AA Pro winning all three mains, another first for him. dR couldnt make it a clean sweep with a double double, getting barely beat out in Pro Cruiser and settled for second place. Any way you slice it, three wins and a second is great in BMX and unheard of in the Pro ranks. Amanda Geving made the trip from Florida to do battle in the ultra-competitive Womens Pro class. Geving nabbed herself a fifth on Saturday and powered her Formula Hybrid Pro Minus to a second place on Sunday. Warren McDow had trouble just getting to Phoenix and the trip was one worth forgetting. After his flight was canceled last minute on Friday morning, Warren made it to Phoenix early Saturday morning and practiced with barely any sleep. It showed as Warren didnt make class or open main on Saturday. On Sunday, McDow crashed hard in his 17-24 Open main, severely bruising his shoulder. With the injury, he barely could make it out of the gate come his class main and had to settle for fifth. Warren promises to be ready for Roseville. Chad Kerley always delivers a show for the fans. With his combination of skill and smooth riding, Kerley is the mini-pro that everyone knows to watch. On Saturday, Kerley battled with Jordan Miranda in 11-12 Open but settled for second. In 12 Expert, Kerley had Wesley Gunn in sights. Black Mountain is Gunns home track and between the announcing and the fans screams, you would think Gunn has it in the bag. Not so. Kerley dropped into the second spot behind Gunn for most of the race. But anyone who knows Kerley knows that the last place you want him is in second right behind you. Chad set up Gunn in the last turn and used his patented swoop to take the lead and the win on his Formula Solution Expert Plus. In Sundays 12 Expert main, Chad got a good pop and lead it start to finish for his first double of the year. Look for the Formula Factory team at the NBLs Florida national this weekend and at the ABAs Roseville national later this month.
