Since late November we have been working, under the radar, with the Slipstream Sports cycling team. Today the relationship became official with JV's signature on our contract. Because there were a number of intellectual property issues involved with this partnership, it took a bit longer to get everything ironed out than we initially expected, but it was time well spent, and we are very pleased to be working with the team.
GdT will be a "technical consultant and strategic partner" of the team. Basically that means that we could tell you what we do for them, but we'd have to kill you... No, it means that we will be working on some proprietary things for the boys that will give them an advantage on race day, but that we can't say what we did until after the fact.
GdT will also be providing Magnus Backstedt (continuing an existing relationship), Taylor Phinney, Lucas Euser, and Meatball Friedman with our custom cycling shoes this year. Maggy has been giving us feedback for over a year on the shoes and has been instrumental in getting things to their present state. (Now, if he could just stay upright over the winter...). Talylor, Lucas and Mike (Meatball) are all young guys looking to make a splash with the team, and we look forward to growing with them and developing a long-term relationship with each of them.
