Patrick Bevin

EVENT: Cycling – Men's Road Race

Patrick Bevin competed at the junior world championships on the track and the road. He was snapped up by US-based Bissell Pro Cycling as a teenager, with stage wins in Ireland and USA. He returned to New Zealand, and after a World Cup win on the track, he was selected for the team to the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He moved back to the road with the breakthrough in 2016 when he was signed to the UCI World Tour with Cannondale for two years, then on to the crack BMC Racing and now to Israel Start-Up Nation.

Bevin has won a stage of the Santos Tour Down Under in 2019 and this year, won the GC in the Tour of Turkey, followed by a World Tour stage win in the Tour de Romandie. He was edged out of a bronze medal by three seconds at the world championship time trial in 2019 by Filippo Ganna.
