CRAIG RETURNS WITH RABOBANK-GIANT IN 2011
|
Cross-country Olympian looks forward to full World Cup season
after injury-shortened 2010
NEWBURY PARK, Calif. (January 12, 2010) — U.S. Olympian Adam Craig will again race for the Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team in 2011. Craig, one of America’s top cross-country racers, has ridden for Giant the past eight years. His top priorities in 2011 will be the UCI World Cup Series and the World Championships in Switzerland.
Craig missed the first half of the 2010 season after knee surgery. He says he’s looking forward to being healthy in 2011 and building up to his goal of competing at the 2012 London Olympics.
“I’m looking forward to a full this season after missing the first part of 2010 with an injury,” Craig said. “I’m really happy to have the support of the Rabobank-Giant team again for the World Cups and especially looking forward to July, when we have North American rounds at Mont-Ste-Anne, Canada, and Windham, New York. I’m also pretty stoked about Worlds in Champéry, [Switzerland], which has been a pretty good course for me in the past.”
Craig, 29, is a New England native currently living in Bend, Oregon. He plays a key role in the development of Giant’s off-road bikes and technology. The Maestro-equipped Anthem X Advanced SL bike he uses for most races was created with input and expertise gained from competing at the top levels of XC racing. All of Craig’s race bikes are also outfitted with Shimano components and Fox Racing Shox suspension products.
Known for his well-rounded talents in off-road racing, Craig enjoys going beyond Olympic and World Cup competition and tackling varied off-road adventures. He has won 15 U.S. national championships in cross-country, Super D and cyclocross racing. In December he won the single-speed cyclocross title at the U.S. Cyclocross Championships, held in his hometown of Bend.
