Kiwi cyclist Patrick Bevin makes strong statement at Tour of Britain PHILLIP ROLLOGETTY IMAGES Kiwi cyclist Patrick Bevin spent two days in the leader's jersey. An in-form Patrick Bevin hopes his strong performance at the Tour of Britain will lead to more leadership opportunities with BMC Racing. He currently sits fourth place overall and had it not been for a surprisingly poor effort in the team time trial - BMC's specialist event - Bevin may still be wearing the green jersey today. When you're fighting for every second and you lose 40 in a team time trial it's a bit tough going," Bevin said. Bevin said BMC simply "didn't have the legs" for the 14km TTT, which finished with an tricky climb up Whinlatter Pass.
