February 02, 2018 – Awi Racing p/b the Crank & Sprocket Bicycle Co. has ramped up their game for 2018. After watching continued growth of the team over the last few years head coach Andrew Watson and team manager/coach Matthew Spak felt that it was time to evolve the team.  “We have watched a surge of elite rider join our team, Andrew and I felt it was time to expand the  high performance side of the team. Our goal is to help these racers get to the international level”.

There was a gap in the current race Canadian race teams and we felt we could fill this void and help our athletes get to the next level of National team projects and World Cup events. Andrew has been has many years on the National team and trade teams to help these next generation riders move up the ranks in their division.
