Free Agent and Kenda are pleased to announce the new Free Agent/Kenda European BMX Race Team for 2009. The team will consist of four riders from England, Norway, Latvia, and Holland, and is looking to expand even more in the future. “Free Agent has built a great relationship with Kenda over the years. They’ve supported both our Free Agent BMX and our KHS Mountain bike teams,” said Team Manager Dale Holmes. “We decided it only made sense to set up a joint team project in Europe.”
