Britton goes long at the Tour of Utah

Rob Britton (Rally Cycling) may have lost nearly two minutes in the Tour of Utah's first GC mountain test on Wednesday during stage 2, but the 2017 overall champion was back on the attack on Thursday in a breakaway that made it inside 10km of the finish.

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.
