Bontrager squad racing for their futures at Tour of California

The Bontrager development team returns to the Amgen Tour of California this year with a reloaded roster and plenty of motivation.

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.
