Erik Cais – Rally driver was born on 5th August 1999. Which is by the way same date of birth like date of birth of phenomenal rally driver Colin McRae who is Erik`s role model in rally racing.
Erik has been affected by rally since his early days. His father was competing in rally for ten years and at the peak of his career he belonged between TOP 10 drivers in the CzechRepublic in his era (1997 – 2008.)
When Erik was 7 years old he started racing mountain bike downhill. He raced bike which was custom made to his needs. In 2015 started his international racing career as he started competing in IXS European Downhill Cup and since 2016, when he reached needed age, he started racing World Cups in MTB DH. In same year he also became member of Slovakian factory team CTM Racing.
His team mates were best Czech and Slovak downhill riders. For 2017 his main goal were World Cup races. Unfortunately during training runs he had hard crash and broke his collarbone in 4 pieces. After long recovery he decided not to compete in MTB DH again as he wanted to start doing sport he has loved since his child days – rally.
