UnitedHealthcare today released provisional rosters for the Amgen Tour of California and the Amgen Women's Race, where both squads will wear special jerseys promoting the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation.
The men's eight-rider team for the May 14-21 race will feature a three-pronged attack for the hilly stages on days two and five, with 2013 stage winner Janier Acevedo taking the reins along with Daniel Jaramillo and Gavin Mannion.
For the flat stages, the team will rely on the fast finish of Travis McCabe, fresh from two stage wins at the Tour de Langkawi. McCabe will have the support of veteran WorldTour rider Greg Henderson as well as Jonny Clarke, Tanner Putt, and Daniel Eaton.
