This race started on Friday 19th of June 2015 with an extraordinary cold training day for the riders. Everything went good though and all riders were really happy with the track in UAMK Bikrosclub Repy, run by former World Class Elite BMXer, Lukas Tamme. Everyone was saying that this track is on the high level. On Saturday and Sunday there were 291 riders from 14 countries all over the world (England, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Hungary, Germany, New Zealand, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland and Czech Republic. You could see little riders 6 years old, then the youth, elite riders and riders 30+. From this amount of people there were 89 riders representing the home club of UAMK Bikrosclub Repy! An awesome and growing BMX Club in Europe! In the evening after Friday's training it started to rain and it lasted till the next morning. Fortunately it stopped raining around 7am. We were happy that the track got dry during the training time. There are all categories registered for this race - competitors from 6 years, 7-8 years, 8-9 years, 9-10 years, 11-12 years, 13-14 years, 15-16 years, 17+, Cruiser and the top represent by Junior men, Junior women, ELITE Men and finally, the ELITE Women. Here we go!!! On Saturday morning the Kids started to train hard in front of the coaches, the world elite riders and the parents. They fell down sometimes, but showed tremendous spirit when they got up and continue paddling on their bikes! During a qualification race we had to experience a little hurricane so we had to take a break for a few minutes. When the rain stopped, the organizers had to clean the turns to be able to start the race again, but they worked hard, the track surface held up GREAT and we were ready to race, AGAIN. Step by step we got to the semi-finals even though the weather wasn’t really good. In the Elite semi-finals British rider Liam Phillips finished as the first from the Elite Man category, but the second semi-final saw Kyle Evans taking the semi win. Unfortunately in the semi-final our club riders, Adam Brezina and Matej Chalupny were eliminated. The Rest of the Czech riders didn’t even have enough points for the semi-finals including Tomas Klouda, Jakub Bohuslavek, Tomas Haluza and Radim Sousedik. Too bad for the locals! Only one Czech rider Jan Svub was strong in competition all day, racing really close with the top Elite mens riders. In the finals he had to fight with the best BMX riders including British Liam Philips, Kyle Evans and Netherland riders Martijn Jaspers and Jordy van der Heijden, The rest of the main event were Australian Matt Cameron, Germany's Luis Brethauer and the legendary Swiss rider, Yvan Lapraz. BOOM! Gate goes down, wheels start spinning and everybody flew from the starting hill straight to the first jump. At the first position came Liam Philips closely followed by his teammate Kyle Evans. Unfortunately our rider Jan Svub didn’t have a good start, so he tried hard to get more forward, before British and Dutch men, but not successfully.
Sunday had just begun, and we supposed to make a everything all over again. At the morning the weather was really nice, sun was shining and the place around the track started to be full of BMX fans. We began the same as Saturday with youngest riders only 6 years old. We enjoyed a perfect race, which was a little bit disturbed by rain. After rain we begun a semi-final runs. For Czech riders the semi-finals weren't very successful, our riders Marcel Pesek, Jakub Bohuslavek, Stepan Tumpach, Tomas Merta, Radim Sousedik were out of the race, same like Adam Brezina who quit after hard crash. The racing was fast and furious through all the day, and all of us were ready for the final runs. The Final runs were planned same like Saturday, from youngest riders, through cruisers to Elite Men. Czech rider Jan Švub qualified for the final just after the British riders. The crowd got quiet, music was turned down and speaker hold his breath. From gate we heard: Riders ready? Watch the gate!!! Red light, green light and gate goes down, crowd start shouting and speaker pushing the riders to the limit. Liam Phillips had an amazing start nearly followed by Evans, Lapraz and SVUB!!! In the first corner the home rider Jan Švub from Czech was going for the third position, and the crowd was going crazy! The riders used an amazing speed from the first turn to the jump in PRO - section perfectly. At the rhythm section Czech rider Jan Svub trying as he can to overtake Kyle Evans, but it doesn’t work… Last turn and last few jumps, Czech rider tried from the left, from the right down the last straight but Evans is still leading, so we are in the finish. Phillips got the first place, Evans got the second place, SVUB!!! got third place and Lapraz the fourth….. The race was over and we began a final ceremony. Everybody liked the track and they were very surprised how the Czech fans mad for an amazing atmosphere with their BMX Power!!!! After ceremony everybody made a picture with their idols and take an autograph. We would like to thank everybody, riders, fans and organization team for an awesome event. Look for more from our club!
Check out some of what the Riders from the Elite category had to say about the King Of Prague Race! – Liam Philips, Kyle Evans and Martijn Jaspers had to say about the race and our track! From World Champion and BMX Olympian, Liam Phillips, "I speak for both myself and Kyle Evans when I say we had a great weekend racing at the King of Prague! The track was a lot of fun and thankfully, the weather was kind to us. We are looking forward to returning to BMX club Repy in the future!" ..... Thanks, Liam! And, from Martijn Jaspers from The Netherlands, "I’m really happy that I came to Prague for this race. I have three weekends full of races and this one was the second one, so I came to enjoy it for 100%. This was by far the best Czech track and I had a lot of fun here. The track is fast, flowing, entertaining and the asphalt is perfect. I was happy with a good final on Saturday and I got the third place." ..... Thanks, Martijn! We have to thank very much to our sponsors, and our UAMK Bikrosclub Repy club for organisation of this great event, riders, speakers and mainly our supports who made this amazing atmosphere in Repy! |

ANSWER BMX Signs Tory Nyhaug and Re-Introduces the ANSWER BMX Factory Team |
|
|
|
ANSWER BMX Products is excited to announce the return of the ANSWER BMX Factory Team highlighted by the signing of Canadian Olympic athlete and World #2 Tory Nyhaug to a multi-year deal. BMX historians will remember the ANSWER Factory teams of years past that included rosters of some of racing’s most accomplished amateur, pro, and Olympic racers in history. While the purpose of those teams in the past was the pursuit of team trophy titles and team sheets, the newly formed team’s focus is purely on promotion, creating strong brand image, and exposure in a global market. ANSWER BMX President John Sawyer stated, “I know the history of the Factory Answer teams of the past and the positive image it created for the brand. While we are fortunate to be currently partnered with the high profile Factory Team’s of George Costa’s ANSWER RENNEN Factory Team and Jim Buchanan’s Ssquared ANSWER Factory Team, we felt it was important to have our own smaller team for promotional purposes with some international flavor. And having a high profile Elite like Tory Nyhaug as our flagship leader is a no brainer obviously.” "Tory, who is just returning to form after a late season injury in 2014 and release from his former sponsor, had this to say about joining his new team, “I’m psyched to be partnering with ANSWER BMX heading into the Olympics. I’ve used Answer parts since I was a little kid and am excited to ride the 2x Bike of the Year. I know Birk and everybody at Answer and Ssquared will give me the support I need to be successful.” The 2015 ANSWER BMX Factory Team Roster consists of: Tory Nyhaug, Canada, Elite Men Alfredo Campo, Ecuador, Elite Men Cole Proctor, USA Sebastian Velasquez, Columbia Valentina Velasquez, Columbia Ronalds Ritins, Latvia Larry Dardini, USA Mazin Shehayeb, USA DJ Foster, USA Jackson Gentry, USA Evan Putnam, USA Rusty Dial, USA Darin Houston, USA The ANSWER BMX Factory will proudly represent Ssquared Bicycles, ANSR race wear, Rennen Designs, Tioga Tires, MJT, and CRIT as team co-sponsors for the 2015 season.
