Major Wins in 2007: 1st USPRO Criterium Championships, 1st U.S. National Scratch Race
Championships, 1st Stage #5 Vuelta a Chihuahua.

New to the pro peloton in 2007 Kelly Benefit Strategies/Medifast ended the year on a high note
with a win at the USPRO Criterium Championship with Canadian sprinter, Martin Gilbert, and a
second and third place finish at the USA Crits World Criterium Championships in Las Vegas.
Notable additions to the 2008 team include 2007 Tri-Peaks Challenge and Redlands Bicycle
Classic Champion, Andrew Bajadali, 2007 Tour of Nez Overall Champion, Alex Candelario,
and current Under-23 Canadian National Time Trial Champion, David Veilleux. The addition
of seasoned professionals like Bajadali and Candelerio, plus the time trialing capabilities of
Veilleux should strengthen the team's ability to contest for higher GC positions in stage races
Other riders to watch include 2007 second place finisher in the Coupe de la Paix Cycliste,
Keven Lacombe. Lacombe is a fast finisher and could be the teams designated rider to hunt
for stage wins.
