Prokop and Author together for another two years
Prokop and Author together for another two years Those Czechs from beautiful Prague decided to continue showing the rest of the World who is the king of fourcross in another two years. Michal Prokop and Author are already two times Fourcross World Champions and two times Fourcross World Cup Winners. Now they decided to go east – Beijing 2008 direction – hand by hand again.
Since Michal Prokop jumped on Author bikes four years ago, he dominated most of fourcross races he did attend. Prokop became the face of Author, the leader of Czech cycling industry and top player on the European market. Two years ago, the Author Prokop 4X frame joined the wide range of Author products and still is the first choice of most of either Czech or foreign 4X riders. Also A-Gang P.M. – the top model of Author product line for kids loving massive jumps – was designed in association with Michal Prokop and signed by this hard working champ himself. Wheels were turning pretty fast, four years of successful cooperation left and this winning couple just didn’t see any reason why to split their ways.
Year 2006 was just amazing for Michal Prokop and Author! Racing every single weekend and living on the podium continually since May till October all around the Globe. One day earning points for the BMX Olympics, few days after mastering the World of mountain bikers. Second rainbow jersey in his wardrobe, second World Cup trophy on it when being ten years younger his greatest rivals. Beating big names globálky and giving pride to thousands fans home in the Czech Republic.
“You know, to go ahead with Author, it was an easy decision. When I look back, it is just amazing to see what everything a bunch of guys with the same passion from the small and young European country achieved. I am proud to take all the nedala on Author bikes. I ride frames made exactly in accordance to what I feel to be the best for me. You can stop and buy some of them in a bike shop near you some time. I can ride top bikes no matter what I am going to do, training on road, flying above my trails or working hard on the velodrome. These guys helped my career a lot and would be sweet to bring them a medal with five circles on it. I am always doing my best, either in the gym or on the track, but this dream will cost much more. Luckily, Author is hearing my needs and this new contract we just signed is the proper one. I will need eighteen quiet months without any financial or material stress to be ready for the Olympics and this is exactly what I am getting now. Thanks for that!”
