FORMULA SIGNS DINGER AND NORLES, DROPS KOBZA
San Diego, California – Factory Formula Bicycles / Monster Energy / Fly Racing's roster just got a little bigger. The team has just announced that it signed Elite Masters/Vet Pro rider Tim Dinger (North Carolina) and 13 Expert Andre Norles (Missouri) to the Factory Team roster. They join BMX Racing's most elite group of riders including 2006 NBL National #1 Donny Robinson and 2006 ABA National #1 Alise Post.

Tim Dinger has been tearing up the NBL Elite Master's class as of late, scoring a ton of great finishes so far in '07. Those of you who know Tim, know that he is definitely a character as well being an outstanding talent on a bike. He's seemingly been on the podium all year and sitting third in the standings behind Rupe and Carnes certainly reflects that. Look for Tim to represent Formula on his Solution Pro Plus on the East Coast and select mid-west and western races as well as the UCI Worlds in Canada this summer. Andre Norles has been a staple of the mid-west BMX scene since he was just a small grom. Nowadays he's battling it out in perhaps the sport's toughest class, 13 Expert. He's been rocking the Formula frame for over a year now and with consistent podium finishes, Formula felt the time was right for Andre to step up to the Factory Team. Currently in the NAG #7 position, look for Norles to move up the ladder by hitting up the bigger west coast ABA races. Andre's first race for the Formula/Monster/Fly team will be ABA Roseville next weekend.
Sadly, Formula has decided to part ways with Lahsaan Kobza. Kobza has been a great representative, but it seemed like he and the team were moving in different directions and management pulled the trigger. It was a difficult decision, and he will be missed, but Lahsaan is a great rider and will land on his feet quickly.
