Hincapie Racing eyeing move to the next level

Toms Skujins' three-day run in the yellow jersey this week at the Tour of California focused a bright spotlight on Hincapie Racing, the 23-year-old Latvian's US Continental team.

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.
