Cristian Becerine wins 3 out of 4 Elite Pro main events in Paradise! Round 3 of the 2007 NBL Pro series was held this past weekend, January 27-28, in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico. For the 2nd time, the city of Barceloneta has put on one great NBL full bore national event with a city wide race promotion and organizing a huge event not only for BMX racers, but also for Mountain Biking and road racing. The event stared off as an event that was known as the RM59 tropical challenge. Pro Racer Robbie Miranda, who the event is named after, has helped promote BMX racing in Puerto Rico and this race is

a tribute to his efforts and his Puerto Rican background.

The Pros were excited to attend such an event as it is know for its great hospitality, an excellent track, and the warm weather. Cristian Becerine was the lone Double A Marketing Pro to make the trip down, but he was more than enough, as Cristian was the top Pro at the event.

On arrival, the newly renovated track was liked by all the Pros and Cristian seemed to really like the changes. It was very apparent as on Saturday, Cristian was unstoppable in the main events, as he won both the Elite Pro Class and the Elite Pro Open class. On Sunday, Cristian once again was the winner in Elite Open and this time has to settle for a 2nd in Elite Pro. Cristian gave the Free Agent World Team fans some great results and looks forward to doing it again this weekend at the ABA national in Guthrie, Oklahoma.

Cristian's Sponsors include: Free Agent, Answer, Kenda, THE Products, ODI, Sun Ringle, Shimano, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, OGIO, Oakley, Thomson Seat Posts, and BMXpros.com
