With two wins in Spain already deposited for this early spring, Team AlUla Jayco looks to continue their Spanish conquests at Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Del Sol, February 14-18. US rider Lawson Craddock makes his season debut to drive the ‘engine room’, and support GC efforts of Alessandro De Marchi.
For Craddock, the year begins his 14th professional season, and 11th on the WorldTour level. The 31-year-old Texan had proven his versatility in stage racing for Team Giant then EF Education before moving to Jayco in 2022. It never seemed to disturb his quiet demeanour when his role was described as a support rider. The two-time US Pro time trial champion said you may not see him ‘put up my hands at the end of the day’ but that’s not what drives him.
