2010 marks this former KBS and Symmetrics rider's permanent move from the green kit to the green car as he becomes the newest addition to the KBS staff. An unfortunate and unusually brutal crash in the Vuelta de Chihuahua late last year helped influence Jake's decision to put the bike in the garage for good, and KBS' staff and riders are thrilled to continue have him on board. A resident of Portland, OR, Jake says that it has the best riding terrain of any place he has raced in the past 20 years, other than Japan. Jake won numerous stages, time trials, and KOM's throughout his successful career as a cyclist, and is eager to begin building his new career with KBS.
