EF Education–NIPPO (United States) - Press Release: A gold and bronze medal for EF Education-NIPPO’s American riders.

“It was such an exciting day. To be able to wear the stars and stripes jersey for the next year is an incredible opportunity.”

Lawson Craddock was crowned the new US Pro Time Trial Champion in Oak Ridge, Tennessee today.

Ten years prior, the USA Cycling Juniors Track National Championships saw a promising young rider win in its men’s three-kilometer event. Lawson Craddock, a National Development Program stand-out at the time, was the clear winner that day.

Craddock finds himself on a different team nowadays — but he’s still coming up with big results. The newly-appointed Olympic team member won his second time trial national title, exactly one decade since his very first. The Houston native finished the 34.9-kilometer course with an impressive time of 41:33.

“I’m very grateful. The year hasn’t gone as planned for me after a difficult start. But things are now starting to click,” said Craddock.
