Adam Cianciarulo: "A couple years ago I really thought I was screwed..."

How do you define champion? By seeing how they bounce back after adversity. Adam clearly had that covered this summer. Congrats, to the new 250 champ.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Any rider who can go through what AC did, can handle anything. He went from being the next phenom, to the very bottom thinking his life was over, to losing the SX championship, to winning the MX championship. Congrats Adam, you have accomplished something much more than just winning a championship.

[@8180634]

What a likable dude! He seems to have really felt the need on a personal level to deliver for the team. I hope he does well in 450s!

Man Adam. I love you man! I was FL 125 A Champ in '86! I was on that path, but burst fractured my C1 at Mini O's Sx later that yr. Crushed arch after that. I did go 1-1 in 125 A on a Cagiva at '88 Gatorback Winter Am. I had always followed amatuer mx. I remember seeing your name pop up back in mid to late 2000's out of Port Organe, FL! I was overcoming a divorce and living on the beach in NSB. I was starting over from my cheating x and heartbroke... depressed... not myself... But the work and years of sacrifice to push forward came from that mx foundation deep inside of me. You're a champion human being with a beautiful soul! I look forward to the FL rounds next year when I can walk up in a FOX tshirt and look you in your eyes and shake your hand. The way you carry yourself is that of a leader. And when the day comes that your career switches the gears of mx retirement, I feel you can rise to the top of anything in this world you set your mind to acheive. But most of all, you exemplify character of a solid good man with a kind heart and a lot of love. God bless your path! Thanks for this AMAZING 2019 SX/MX SEASON! It was epic!

Woah, you really laid it all out there bro.

[@glennmartyn7785]

@@triple4sss Adam laid it all out bro! I just get his emotion and how he put every single ounce of his heart and soul into this outdoor season and his entire amatuer and pro career leading up to it. I've been watching him for years. As a oldschool mx'er, I have a deep respect for him. As a Christian, I definitely have love for him too.

[@scottyboy7462]

win or loose, Adam is the perfect spokesperson for the sport!! Congratulations!! hard fought and well deserved!! 🇺🇸

Gregory Vierra ya, oops- lol

[@monkeydad22]

Man I wanna shed a tear for you guys! Congrats to Adam!!! Freaking rad!🤙

[@stevebrinkert8339]

Congrats Adam, hard work & never give up always pays off! Great interview.

[@bryanlettow4389]

There have been a lot of non believers but you pulled through it and shown them what's up!

[@onlygazza]

Well done for sticking at it, keep on keeping on and you will get there in the end as you’ve proved 👏

[@jamesdylan5041]

Hell fucking yeah Adam good shit. Even though I've drifted away from the race scene a bit I've always been rooting for you an the kawi team. Looking forward to seeing you on 450s

[@craigb.5650]

What a series! He is definitely one of the better riders, when it comes to interviews!

[@lapierrejean1265]

Good job Mister Cianciarulo ! The best for the future. DF's n°34 french fan.

[@hamonrye9823]

Im so stoked for him!! I watched him come up in fla since he was 4 years old. Yewwwww

[@castelnedd]

What a great guy and Inspiration to people in general not just in sport but in life. There's the answer never give up. People like you make me smile 😊 Well done champ you deserve it.

[@Dirtymutt9]

so stoked for this guy! what a roller coaster! I bet he does well on the 450!

[@stephenwilson1012]

I'm honestly really glad AC went through what he did. Learning that nothing is gna be spoon fed to you, Ricky went through it in his first 2 years in the 250s, AC is getting it out of the way early. Being a bigger guy I think he'll do great on the 450 and will be in the history books soon enough.

[@libertatusinperpetuum2046]

Roger Penske has a painting behind his desk that says, "EFFORT=RESULTS" You showed that Adam, and Congratulations.

[@justinstrong2811]

AC! AC! AC! AC! AC! AC! super pumped for the kid.

[@Flowing_Waters]

He can teach these lessons to his kids which will be invaluable, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[@derrickfish7774]

Congrats AC

[@joenobody2580]

Congratulations champion.

[@MXUnion]

Keep it up! 👏🏻🔥

[@jordanfisher2285]

You’re a rad dude Adam. I think you’ll find more success in the 450 class. I see multiple titles in your future🤘🏻

[@gated320]

Like we told ET1! Good things happen to good people Adam! Congrats! Team Green!

[@vaughanscott7308]

I like this guy.

[@monsterkxf]

Awesome!! 🤘🤘

[@ghpjerry]

Stand up guy right there. Congrats Adam! Team Green is going to be a seriously scary monster next yr in the fofittiez.

[@steelshotproductions]

I like this dude.....nothing like a humble cat after winning the championship. Especially in this era of "me me me" Millennials.

[@dennissvensson9428]

For fuck sake youre young as hell! you accomplished more than most accomplished in a lifetime and you still a youngster.

[@hamonrye9823]

He was my guy ever since he went pro at 16. Stewart and ac are chargers that I akways fully supported and it would piss me off when they dont win championships

[@hencetirta7633]

adam .the next RC AND .RV .

[@joenobody2580]

Mitch is the man , hell unlimited money HRC bikes in the 80s would run his pipes over their own. I would stick with his motor, put it in the contract.

[@hamonrye9823]

You will go down in history. You were one of those guys who was actually too fast. Slowed it down minimal injuries

[@BayAreaBully7667]

why they have the bike revved out to the max in the background?

[@williamschuman4951]

Did the bike ever blow !!!

[@DouweEgbert]

and now he got screwed by kawasaki who didnt let him race MXON ... great deal
