Craig Lewis (born January 10, 1985 in Moore, South Carolina) is an American professional road bicycle racer riding for the UCI Professional Continental team Champion System.
In 2004, while riding for TIAA-CREF (then a small team on the US circuit that would later grow to be one of the world's biggest, currently known as Garmin-Cervélo), Lewis was gravely injured when he was struck by a car during an individual time trial at the Tour de Georgia. He lost consciousness, punctured both lungs, suffered severe internal bleeding, and fractured dozens of bones. After months of rehab and physical therapy, and multiple surgeries, Lewis eventually made a full recovery.[1]
