Andrew Gardner returns to the MetLife – NorEast Cycling Team for his third season on the team. In 2011 Andrew proved to be a great asset to the squad where he covered numerous important attacks, and found himself in the right spot at the Tour of the Hilltowns and the Lake Sunapee Road Race. Andrew was a major reason for Peter’s win at Sunapee where he paced Peter up to the winning move, and kept him there all day for what would eventually be the teams first big result of 2011.

2012 should prove to be another strong year for Andrew as he looks to improve on one of his best years to date. Look once again for this man at the front of the field as he helps usher the MetLife – NorEast Cycling leadout train through the criterium season.
