Career
2013 season
While riding for Jamis–Hagens Berman in 2013, he won a mountaintop finish on Stage 2 of the Tour of California, twelve seconds ahead of eventual overall winner, Tejay van Garderen of BMC Racing Team.[5] He subsequently finished third overall in the Tour, and briefly wore the leader's jersey before van Garderen claimed it.[6]
In September 2013, it was announced that Acevedo would move to the Omega Pharma–Quick-Step squad for the 2014 season.[7][8] However, a month later, Acevedo was said to have broken a "verbal agreement" with Omega Pharma–Quick-Step, with the intention to join Garmin–Sharp instead.[3][9]
