Christopher Michael "Chris" Robins (born 2 January 1954) is a British former motorcycle speedway rider.
Born in Newton Abbott, Devon, Robins was a boxer as a schoolboy, and competed in the English Schoolboy Championships.[1] He took up speedway in late 1974, gaining his early experience riding on a beach near Barnstaple, and after riding in second half heats at Exeter, rode for Weymouth Wizards in the National League in 1975, averaging over five points in his first season.[1][2] In 1976 he averaged over seven for Weymouth which led to a transfer in 1977 to British League Leicester Lions, also riding in the National League on loan to Newport Wasps.[2] He moved on to Furness Flyers in 1978 before riding for Milton Keynes Knights. He retired in 1980 after only one match for the Knights.
