With this year's edition of the Tour of Utah right around the corner, I started looking back at some photos from the 2014 edition of the race. It was my first time working a "big" race and I was lucky to connect with Drapac Pro Cycling, a small (at that time) pro conti team from Australia. This became my favorite way to work with a team: moving, transferring, eating, sleeping and breathing as one unit.

A few months later I returned to work with Drapac in California, where I happened to walk in on a meeting between the team principal and a certain Jonathan Vaughters and the rest, as they say, is cycling history.
