Returning for his third season with KBS, Andy "Baj" Bajadali has been unstoppable since removing his training wheels at age three in a cul-de-sac in Los Alamidos, CA. He has rode for a variety of programs including Excel Sports (2001-'02), Ofoto (2003-'04), and Jelly Belly (2006-'07). He has enjoyed huge success with the KBS program, most recently finishing second in the 2009 USPRO Road Race Championship, one second behind George Hincapie. He also won 2009's grueling Tour of Thailand, and rode solo for a victory at the 2009 Tour de Winghaven. Baj is a key rider for KBS, and like the wine he can drink only if he burns over 4000 calories in a day, seems to get better with age.
