Cannondale-Drapac announces EF Education First as new naming partner

EF Education First and #GreenArgyle fans have teamed up to #SaveArgyle. Slipstream Sports rides on in 2018 thanks to a newly inked deal with EF Education First. The family-owned global education company will become the first naming partner of the American-registered squad in 2018 and will eventually become majority owner of Slipstream Sports.

Team EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale will remain wholeheartedly committed to the gutsy, open and engaging approach for which it has become known.

“We are honored to begin working alongside Slipstream Sports, Cannondale, Drapac, and all of the wonderful partners at Slipstream Sports to keep our cyclists riding into 2018 and for years to come,” said Edward Hult, CEO North America, EF Education First. “We were inspired to step in and become the team’s title partner, and will become majority partner, after learning about the #SaveArgyle campaign and witnessing the incredible outpouring of support from fans around the world.

“We have been moved by the powerful way that cycling unites people of diverse backgrounds in a peaceful, fun, and friendly way to achieve extraordinary athletic feats,” Hult added. “It aligns perfectly with EF’s mission of opening the world through education and our commitment to bringing different cultures together.”

Slipstream Sports CEO Jonathan Vaughters describes EF Education First as “the perfect partner” alongside the “whole athlete” focus embraced by Drapac Group owner and chairman Michael Drapac,

“Drapac’s focus is athlete education, athletes being healthy and whole, having options in life,” said Vaughters. “That’s what these guys at EF are all about. Education is what they do. They’re about breaking down cultural barriers and teaching people how to communicate. It’s a sponsor that feels socially relevant in this day as the world becomes increasingly global and communication among cultures becomes more critical. I think it also matches the ethos of Slipstream Sports. I couldn’t ask for a better fit.

Der Drapac Pat’s Veg Holistic Development Team gab heute seine 10 Fahrer für die Saison 2017 bekannt. Das Team dient auch als offizielles Entwicklungsprogramm des Cannondale-Drapac-Profiteams.

Drapac Pat’s Veg ist eine Plattform für Einzelpersonen, für den Universitätsgrade oder Berufsbescheinigungen zusätzlich zum Fahren auf dem UCI kontinentalen Niveau. Neben dem frühen Kalender in Australien, wird das Team auch in Europa später in der Saison konkurrieren. Drapac Pat’s Veg hat seinen Sitz in Australien.

„Michael und ich teilen die gleiche Philosophie in Bezug auf Sportlerentwicklung. Die Ergebnisse sind wichtig, sicher, aber so bietet sich einem Rennfahrer die Chance, Bildung und persönliche Entwicklung außerhalb des Sports zu vereinigen“, sagte Jonathan Vaughters, CEO von Slipstream Sports und Leiter des Cannondale-Drapac-Teams. „Sie können WorldTour Level Talent identifizieren, während zur gleichen Zeit diese Fahrer Zeit haben um Studien zu nehmen und erkunden ihre Optionen nicht nur als Fahrrad-Rennfahrer. Ich denke, das Element der physischen und intellektuellen Fokus kann tatsächlich helfen, in Bezug auf Leistung. “

Die Mannschaft, die sich aus Studenten aus ganz Australien zusammensetzt, wird die Saison bei den 2017 Mars Cycling Australia Road National Championships im Januar starten, bevor sie im australischen ältesten Etappenrennen, der UCI 2.2-Rangliste Jayco Herald Sun Tour im Februar startet.
