Marco Aledia is an Ohio native who got into racing bikes at the suggestion of a friend. That suggestion would help him live in travel the world racing his bike, meeting amazing teammates, and live the dream of becoming a professional cyclist for multiple teams. He's the only rider to ever win the Tour of Ohio's sprint jersey five years running. 

I sat down with Marco recently and talked to him about racing his bike through the years as a junior, amateur, and professional cyclist. He's now working in banking, married, and with two incredible kids.
