Rapidly rising Slipstream Sports has signed a deal with Garmin for the GPS experts to become the new title sponsor of the team, becoming Team Garmin-Chipotle Presented by H30 with immediate effect.

“Slipstream cyclists are setting the standard for success through integrity and sportsmanship,” said Jon Cassat, Garmin's vice president of communications, “and this fresh perspective on work ethic and accountability is in keeping with Garmin's worldwide reputation for accomplishing great things through teamwork.”

The Edge 705 represents several breakthroughs in cycling technology, including power compatibility, wireless unit-to-unit connectivity and the ability to monitor GPS position, heart rate, speed, cadence, altitude and gradient on the same display. And Team Garmin will be able to share data - including saved rides, waypoints and workouts -through ANT+Sport™ wireless technology.

“We are thrilled to partner with Garmin and believe that establishing this title sponsorship is further evidence that a new era of cycling is upon us,” said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports, LLC, the sports management company that runs the team. “Garmin's commitment to innovation and integrity mirrors our own.”
