Alex Candelario is a versatile racer and a major threat to win any race, stage or criterium, and has proved himself to be one of the elite field sprinters and lead-out specialists in America. He narrowly missed a win at the 2008 USPRO Criterium Championship, and has proven time and time again his willingness to sacrifice for the team. In last year's Gila race, Alex crashed on a high speed descent going 45 mph, got back on his bike, and finished the race, taking ninth place. If you need to find Cando in the off-season, you will probably find him surfing at a Hawaiian beach or riding his mountain bike.
