Israel Cycling Academy have confirmed signing 30-year-old American Travis McCabe to their 2020 WorldTour roster, a story Cyclingnews first reported last month.

McCabe comes to the Israeli-registered team from US Continental team Floyd's Pro Cycling, where he raced this season after two seasons on the Pro Continental level with UnitedHealthcare. Before that, the two-time US criterium champion rode on the Continental level with Team SmartStop and Holowesko-Citadel.

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.
