Meet the Cannondale-Garmin Pro Cycling Team
Garmin is joining Slipstream and Cannondale to create a powerhouse team with a mix of young and veteran riders. The team will be known as Cannondale-Garmin Pro Cycling and feature 27 athletes from 14 different countries.
“I’m very excited about our 2015 team. We began as a small group with the mission of developing young riders and we have stayed true to that mission year after year, even as we have grown. 2015 is our youngest group of athletes yet, and it’s also young in that it’s a new team, and we have joined forces with Cannondale,” said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO, Slipstream Sports and Cannondale-Garmin Pro Cycling. “What you can expect to see is an extremely talented group of young riders who will benefit greatly from the leadership and guidance of more experienced guys.
Some of the more experienced riders include Dan Martin, winner of the 2014 Giro di Lombardia and 7th overall in the 2014 Vuelta. Ryder Hesjedal won the 2012 Giro Champion and 2014 Vuelta stage winner. Ramunas Navardauskas, was a 2014 Tour de France Stage winner and Lithuanian Time Trial Champion. Andrew Talansky finished as the top American at the 2013 Tour de France . He went onto win the 2014 Dauphine.
Director Charly Wegelius added, “anytime you have the benefit of youth and experience, you are poised for growth and opportunity. Every rider on this team is capable of greatness, and together as a team, we have huge potential. Our goal will be to harness that potential, relying on our more experienced guys, to create a very exciting year.”
