Adrien Costa: No pressure to be the next Greg LeMond - Q&A

Still just 19, Adrien Costa is one of the brightest prospects on the US cycling scene. The two-time silver medalist in the junior time trial world championships dived into the deep end of U23 racing last year with Axeon Hagens Berman and emerged with enough laurels to earn a trainee spin with top WorldTour team Etixx-QuickStep.

Growing up in Missoula, Montana, Pat competed in his first bike race in 1985 at Flathead Lake. He studied English and journalism at the University of Oregon and has covered North American cycling extensively since 2009, as well as racing and teams in Europe and South America. Pat currently lives in the US outside of Portland, Oregon, with his imaginary dog Rusty.
