Alex Howes is a 23-year-old rider from Golden, Colorado. Along with being one of the most promising riders of his generation, with an under 23 national title to his name, he was the youngest stagiaire in 2007. Having ridden as part of Sliptream's programme since a young age – with a year of racing in France thrown in – he is on course to turn professional, possibly in 2012.
