Six years in a row and the successful story will continue in 2009 race season! Never change the winning team! Prokop says… “Even the whole cycling industry gets currently really hard times and many riders had to change team colors, Author was well prepared for that situation and still remains the one of the strongest bicycle producers in Europe. Those guys supported my career a lot for a long time and they also have big plans for the future. They are involved in racing ever since 1994 and understood what a racer needs. I can ride frames made exactly in accordance to what I feel to be the best for me.
