Christophe Leveque

US Pro Bikes / Free Agent


-9 Time UCI World Champion

A 9 time World Champion, Christophe changed AA Pro racing when he came to the USA and dominated on the BMX track. All the Pros had to reevaluate how to train for AA racing, and Christophe made the entire AA Pro Class all step up a few levels.

In 2002, Christophe hurt his back and was out for the entire season after a few different surgeries to repair and then replace a ruptured disc. In just a few short months, he had made his return to AA racing, not only showing his true love and determination for the sport, but his natural talent, as he has already made it back into the AA pro main events. Christophe made the AA main at the 2004 ABA Grands and made a big statement of his return. Then he was struck with another injury, this time to his foot, where he shattered his heel. Christophe had a tough time making it back from this injury, as the pain had kept him off the bike, but his love for the sport was always there. Christophe looked into other aspects of the sport and started an international BMX distrubution company, US Pro Bikes.

Look for Christophe to be riding at the local So Cal tracks, and maybe even be at some races in late 2006, as he is now healed up and ready to come back to the BMX tracks and race for fun...for now
