Slipstream announces '08 roster
Slipstream Sports LLC has announced the Slipstream-Chipotle cycling team’s roster for 2008.
The team includes David Millar, Christophe Laurent, Julian Dean, David Zabriskie, Christian Vande Velde, Magnus Backstedt, Tyler Farrar, Maartijn Maaskant, Tom Danielson, Dan Martin, Chris Sutton, Trent Lowe, Ryder Hesjedal, Danny Pate, Pat McCarty, Will Frischkorn, Jason Donald, Lucas Euser, Tom Peterson, Mike Friedman, Huub Duyn, Kilian Patour, Timmy Duggan and Steven Cozza.
“We are poised for an outstanding year and are excited to have grown our relationship with Chipotle,” said Doug Ellis, Slipstream Sports’ chairman and majority owner. “This is hands-down the strongest group of riders we have ever had.
“We are continuing to compete at higher levels and in 2008, you will see us at bigger races – hopefully the biggest. But the goal of our team remains the same: to re-establish cycling's credibility, regain the trust of fans around the world, and rekindle the hope of fair sport.”
Slipstream continues to seek a primary title sponsor for the team. Chipotle considerably increased its 2-year-old sponsorship, signing on as presenting sponsor as the team pursues its goal of going to the Tour de France in 2008.
Team Slipstream-Chipotle will compete in a full slate of domestic and international races throughout the spring and summer, including the Amgen Tour of California and Tour de Georgia, and is poised to compete in Paris-Nice, Criterium International, Philly Week (Lancaster, Reading and Philadelphia), Dauphiné Libéré, the USPRO criterium and road race, and the Tour of Missouri.
