Ratto hopes Cylance experience translates into wins

At just 22-years-old, Rossella Ratto has already accomplished a lot of envy-worthy results in the professional women's peloton. Now she's hoping her 2016 season with Cylance Pro Cycling, a new American-based team, will help her bounce back to the front of the peloton and back onto the top step of the podium.

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.
