The new 07 line up Free Agent World Team has had a busy weekend World-wide with some good results to kick off the new season. -New Australian sensation, Caroline Buchanan, just secured the Mountainbike Bike 4x Australian National Championships last week, only then to hop back on her BMX and take another win at the UCI event in Melbourne this past weekend. Caroline is not only racing BMX for Free Agent, but also competing for KHS in 4x and Downhill and aims to race at both the BMX and Mountainbike Worlds later this summer. Can she medal in all three disciplines, something no one has ever done in the same year? Stay tuned.

What do you need to achieve to be crowned a King of the Czech cycling of a year? Not that much... Two World Champion titles, two World Cup titles, ten World Cup wins, two European Champion titles, two Jeep King of the Mountain titles, gold from SEAT 4X Masters, silver from UCI BMX Supercross, final at BMX Worlds and 90% of Olympic qualification ranking points for your country seem to be enough. Michal Prokop is the King of the Czech cycling 2006! Since 1966 Czech Cycling Union officials and selected sports journalists did vote 27 athletes including one queen all presenting traditional disciplines of road or track cycling. Also the cycle cross and cycle-ball already had their multiple kings. Luckily not only for the Czech BMX and fourcross community, we have Michal Prokop, the unique guy breaking through all the limits. And thanks to Michal, after long 41 years of the oldest sports award here in the Czech Republic, first ever fat tire King was finally crowned.
