Danny Pate (born March 23, 1979) is an American retired professional cyclist, who competed professionally in road racing, cyclo-cross and mountain bike racing between 2000 and 2018 for the Saeco–Valli & Valli, Prime Alliance, Health Net–Maxxis, Jelly Belly–Pool Gel, Garmin–Transitions, HTC–Highroad, Team Sky and Rally Cycling teams.[2]

Career

Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Pate took his only professional victory at the 2007 Tour of Missouri, winning the penultimate stage.[3]

He made his first start at both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in 2008.[4] In the latter, he was part of the breakaway on the fifteenth stage with three other riders, and was still clear with Simon Gerrans and Egoi Martínez heading into the final kilometre of the stage, an uphill finish to Prato Nevoso in Italy. He was out-sprinted by Gerrans and Martínez, sitting up for a third-place stage finish.[5] He took a further third-place Grand Tour stage finish at the following year's Giro d'Italia, this time as part of a 25-rider breakaway; he was out-sprinted by Michele Scarponi and Félix Cárdenas at the finish in Benevento.[6]

In October 2015 the UCI Continental team Rally Cycling, then named Optum–Kelly Benefit Strategies, announced that Pate would join them for the 2016 season after four years with Team Sky, reuniting him with former Prime Alliance teammate and Optum performance director Jonas Carney.[7] He retired from racing at the 2018 Colorado Classic, after finishing the last stage in Denver.[2]
