Dale Holmes, Free Agent World Team Member and Manager, is the 2008 World Champion in both the Master 20” BMX and 24” Cruiser categories after placing first this past weekend at the UCI World Championships in China. The weekend proved successful for Free Agent. The team cinched 5 World Championship titles as a while, including the 2008 World Championship Team trophy for the second year running.
“Day 3 was very successful for the team. Thomas Hamon won the Elite 24” Cruiser World Champion title, Fred Rello took the Amateur
24” Cruiser World Champion title, I added the 24” Cruiser title to my previous Master 20” BMX World Championship win on Day 1, and the team as a whole took the Team Championship,” recounts
Holmes.
Holmes’ two wins over the weekend brings his tally to 4 UCI World titles, having won in both 1996 and 2001. In addition to his World Championship wins, Dale is also the 25-time British BMX Champion and is the only rider to have won Pro National titles in 3 decades – the ‘80’s, ‘90’s, and 2000’s.
Holmes, 36, lives and trains in Murrieta, CA where he has for the last 10 years. In addition to rider for and managing the Free Agent World Team, Holmes also races mountain bikes for KHS Bicycles. His BMX skills have provided for a successful crossover to mountain bike racing where he is a 3-time British 4x Champion.
