Free Agent Bicycles is proud to announce the signing 16 year-old sensation Connor Fields to the Free Agent Team for 2009. Fields, from Henderson Nevada, has won over 25 Nationals already this year. He is currently the USAC number one, NBL number one and current ABA age group points leader.“Connor is already ahead off his time with his skill, speed and maturity for such a young age,” said Free Agents Team Manager Dale Holmes. “When Connor is out on the track even the Worlds best Pros will stop and watch, keeping a close eye on where the competition could come from in the next few years.”
Fields will focus on both the ABA and NBL National series, alongside the UCI North American Continental series and the World Championships in Australia. He will ease into the UCI World Cup over the next few years with the Junior Olympic being the goal in 2010 and then the London Olympics in 2012.
