British former Visma prospect Pattinson finds his way to the WorldTour with EF Education

"I’ve raced in a number of stage races this year with the WorldTour riders, so it was great to learn how to ride using a radio, or just to learn from what the more experienced riders told me. I felt like one of the older riders on the development team, so I tried to share my knowledge, whenever possible, with the younger riders coming up, especially when it came to reading the race."

“Tomos is a very interesting rider. We had our eye on him even when he was still a junior, but we didn’t have a development team back then. He signed with another team and stood out at every level, but from what I’ve seen and what I think, he’s a rider with tremendous talent.”
