Downhill vs Enduro with Fischbach and Prokop

Images for Downhill vs Enduro - Fischbach amp Prokop blog

Separation of Spirits
After the UCI (Union Cyclist Internationale) dropped Four Cross (4X) from the World Cup in 2010, many 4X Racers became like little kids who just got their toys stolen. Johannes Fischbach and Michal Prokop did not hang their heads. Instead they searched for alternative disciplines and new challenges.

MICHAL PROKOP (Czech Republic) - The Czech native, born in Prague, got the name "Czech-King-of-Cycle" for good reason. With three World Champion titles, two World Cup Series titles, and 10 World Cup wins, he became a living legend. After the cancellation of the 4X World Cup, the enduro format was the perfect option for him and his injured ack. With several victories in Europe, he has already established himself in the enduro scene.

JOHANNES FISCHBACH (Germany) - Fischi, the next German hope in the Downhill scene has also had success in 4X. With 4 German Champion titles and several podiums in the 4X World Cup he's always the man to watch. Having now changed his focus to Downhill, he already can claim the fastest time at the German Championships in 2012. Currently, he battles in the Downhill World Cup Series for every second and celebrates his numerous victories at the IXS European Downhill Cup.

Mountain Goat - Michal Prokop fights gravity and powers uphill. His motivation? The descent ahead.

Line Fox - Johannes Fischbach, together with his teammates, is always searching for the fastest lines.

Chill Out - Rest and a nutritional diet are part of the day-to-day life of a professional athlete.

Power Drift - “Fischi“ is always concentrated on one goal. He wants the fastest time and nothing else.

Machine - After defeating the uphills, Michal wants only one thing; hit the downhills hard at full-throttle!

Champagne Shower - Undoubtedly “Fischi“ can be stoked on his victory in Willingen and gives the fans a champagne shower.
