ADAM CRAIG TO REPRESENT U.S. IN PAN AM GAMES

25-07-2007

(June 25, 2007) Giant Mountain Bike Team rider Adam Craig has been selected by USA Cycling as one of the athletes to represent the United States in the Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 13 – 29.

In the mountain bike competition, Craig and Todd Wells (who rides for GT Hyundai) will represent the men’s squad, while defending Pan Am Games Silver Medalist Mary McConneloug (who races for the Kenda-Seven squad) will be the sole women’s athlete.

Ranked 14th and 20th respectively, Wells and Craig are the two highest-ranked Americans in the world and will look to secure additional international ranking points for the United States at the

UCI-sanctioned Category-1 event. The United States is currently ranked fifth in the world in men’s mountain biking behind France, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium. A country’s international ranking is the primary factor in determining the number of start positions it receives at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing next summer.

For Wells and Craig, the 2007 Pan American Games will be their first.
