The team is highlighted by world champions Thor Hushovd and Emma Pooley, American sprinter Tyler Farrar, Canada's Ryder Hesjedal, 7th overall in the 2010 Tour de France, Great Britain's Lizzie Armitstead and men's team leader, Christian Vande Velde. The team also boasts several current and former national champions including Murilo Fischer, Cameron Meyer, Travis Meyer and Emma Pooley.

"We're incredibly excited about 2011," said Slipstream Sports CEO Jonathan Vaughters. "Our men's roster is our strongest yet and we have what we think could be the strongest women's team in the world. For the men, we have one of the strongest lead-out trains in the peloton along with one of the strongest Classics line-ups. The women's squad brings a wealth of experience and honors and we are incredibly excited to see what they do on the road this year.

"We have the opportunity and the objective to become the number one ranked team - men and women - by the year's end, and to do it with the same ethical code we started out with."

The men's team will be headed up on the road by Director of Competition Matt White while the women’s team director will be announced shortly.
