Bio
The King of the Czech cycling of 2006 acquired all titles on his mountain bike and he even defended them again. Michal brought himself to the attention of sports public particularly thanks to his dominant position in mountain bike fourcross. This guy belongs among the very few exceptional sportsmen, in the case of whom the one of us may afford to consider any other placing except win in the top world competition as something surprising. Unlike most of his other competitors MP devotes himself equally to two related, but still different disciplines! Moreover, in 2006, just a few months after his severe injury, Prokop initiated the Czech national team of the track world championship on velodrome...
With his three World Champion rainbow jerseys, two World Cup titles and 10 World Cup wins in his pocket, Michal Prokop for sure already belongs to prestigious club of real heroes of gravity mountain biking history. Yet he has found another great challenge in his highly successful carrier - nothing smaller than the Enduro races around the globe.
"Michal Prokop patří mezi hrstku výjimečných českých sportovců, v jejichž případě si našinec může dovolit luxus nahlížet na jakékoli jiné umístění vyjma vítězství na vrcholné světové soutěži jako na cosi překvapivého.
Krále české cyklistiky roku 2006 a továrního jezdce značky Specialized, zná svět jako hvězdu fourcrossu, nejmladší z disciplín horských kol. Získal již všechny dostupné tituly a všechny znovu obhájil. Je nejúspěšnějším fourcrossařem historie, trojnásobným mistrem světa, trojnásobným mistrem Evropy a dvojnásobným vítězem Světového poháru ve fourcrossu. V roce 2008 se zúčastnil Letních olympijských her v Pekingu, kde reprezentoval Českou republiku v bikrosu. V součastné době se Michal specializuje na Enduro, které v posledních letech nabírá na popularitě."
