Trek-Livestrong's Lawson Craddock will be a strong favourite in the upcoming US U23 road championships held as part of the USA Cycling national road championships from June 22-26 in Augusta, Georgia. Last year's junior phenom will participate in the all three U23 championships - time trial, criterium and road race - but will place a strong emphasis on Thursday's individual time trial.
