his Free Agent and European quest for the Olympics with a strong 5th place at the 1st round of the European Championships indoor series in Zwolle Holland. Kelvin, who is also part of the British National Team, says he loves his new Free Agent Limo and even though he is still in the early stages of his winter training, a 5th place against some of Europe's best means he's on his way to a good year and a great start towards his main goal, the 08 Olympics. Kelvin will be out in the States for more training and racing in the month of March. -Colombian Andres Jimenez another new signing continues his great consist ant form in Vina del Mar Chile with a solid 4th place in Elite and some valuable UCI points.
-New Free Agent World Team rider, Fausto Endara from Ecuador, is having a great start to the year. He has won all 4 of the UCI South American rounds in the Junior men's category so far and looks set to be one of the main contenders for the UCI Worlds in Canada later this summer. What's cool about this is that now racing is in the Olympics, BMX is getting some great outside media coverage in some countries, thanks to the Olympic vibe. Fausto and the Ecuador National team were greeted Monday night when landing back home in Ecuador from Chile where they were racing a UCI South American round, by a bunch of press waiting to interview them when they got off the plane. Cool stuff and great for BMX . Free Agent's World Team sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Kenda USA, Sun-Ringle, ODI Grips, Shimano, Thompson, Cyto Sport and THE-Industries.
