Long before the final race of the 2010 season, Luis Amaran knew that he had attained his goal – winning the men’s individual NRC Championship. After beating three-time Amgen Tour of California Champion Levi Leipheimer in the second stage of the SRAM Tour of the Gila and capturing his first NRC stage race victory at the Joe Martin Stage Race, Luis took the lead in the NRC standings and never looked back. En route to winning the NRC Championship, Luis made more than 10 podium appearances and delivered eight top 10 finishes in all forms of road racing. In time trials at the San Dimas Stage Race and Joe Martin Stage Race, Luis finished in the top 10. He took second in criteriums at the Nature Valley Grand Prix and Wilmington Grand Prix. And he proved a force to be reckoned with in road races throughout the season. Luis made his debut in the North American peloton in 2008 with the predecessor to the Jamis/Sutter Home squad. Previously, he had raced with the Cuban National Team from 1998 to 2005 then moved to Spain in 2007 where he raced on the pro circuit. Now in his second season with Jamis/Sutter Home, Luis is certain to use his astounding strength, speed, and endurance to lead the squad to even more impressive results. 2010 Results 2009 Results 2008 Results Career Highlights |
