“FORMULA FACTORY TEAM, MIKE LUNDY UPDATE”

“Evansville, Indiana It was a crazy, hot weekend for the Formula Factory Team this past weekend at the NBLs Hoosier National. NBL Elite points leaders dR Donny Robinson and Amanda Geving rolled into Indiana with big targets on their backs, having dominated the points standings so far this season. Formula also had a big surprise with the return of Mike Lundy back to the race scene after a four month hiatus.”"Nearly everyone in the BMX community has heard about Mike Lundys serious accident at Evansville. Mike was flying in the first two A Pro motos and had low points going into round three. He decided to take it easy going into turn one and went down hard after making contact with another rider. Mike has no recollection of what exactly happened, but the next thing he knew he was down in turn one. After consulting the EMTs, he went back to his pit area and found that he was urinating blood, which he was warned could be a sign of internal bleeding. Mike promptly drove himself to the hospital and the staff there quickly determined that his kidney was broken into six different pieces. He was immediately ushered into surgery and the kidney was removed. Mike is currently recovering in the Evansville hospital and should be released later this week. Lundy has been conspicuously absent from the race scene in 06. Mike had been living in Las Vegas, after moving there from Illinois last year, but decided to move back home after the NBLs Boulder Dam National in February and take a break from racing while he figured out what his next move was. Recently, Mike got the racing bug again and decided make his comeback at the ABA Rockford race this weekend, but at the last minute decided to give Evansville a try. The rest they say is history. Mike is still planning to move to San Diego at the end of summer and well have to see about his return to the BMX track. Any well wishers should contact Mike at info@formulabicycles.com or mail to: Mike Lundy c/o Formula Bicycle Company 771 Jamacha Rd #272 El Cajon, CA 92019 Donny Robinson came into Evansville with the Elite Mens points lead, but still well aware that this is not a class the he can just run away with. Donny rocked on his Formula Solution Pro, doubling in Elite Open and a 6th and a 4th in Elite Mens. Heres Donny in his own words: Well, the weekend didn’t go as well as it should have. Jason Rogers and I had been on a two week clinic road tour since the ABA Lake Perris race. I felt real good and had a lot of fun but I didn’t place like I should have in either of the Elite mains. On Saturday, I had gate 8 with stumpy in 7. The outside at Evansville is tough enough, let alone having Stumpy next to you. I got out decent but not enough to get over on Stumpy and just got stuck on the outside and couldn’t pass around the rest of the track and I ended up in 6th. Sunday, I was feeling better than Saturday, but I unclipped while coming around on my third pedal so I started the main out in last. I moved up into the lead pack but could only stretch for a 4th. The good news is I doubled in Elite Open. Saturday, I got the gate I should have got in class and I took 1st. Sunday was a repeat and I again took 1st. But unfortunately, you dont get points for open. All I can say is the race for the title is heatin up! Amanda Geving also strode into Evansville with a points lead of her own, in the Elite Womens class. Evansvilles fast downhill track appeals to Geving and she made the best of it, battling with Kim Hayashi all weekend. On Saturday, she was in second behind Hayashi, but couldnt find a way around her and had to settle for second. Sunday was a different story as Geving grabbed yet another Elite Womens victory for the season. Next up is the ABA MidWest Nationals in Rockford, Illinois this weekend then the NBLs Stars and Stripes National in South Park, Pennsylvania. Then its off to the UCI Worlds in Sao Paulo, Brazil for the entire Formula Factory team (minus Mike Lundy) of dR Donny Robinson, Amanda Geving, Warren McDow, and Chad Kerley.
