Between 2008 and 2021, the team won 36 Grand Tour stages and 37 national road race and time trial championships.
EF Education–EasyPost is known for its anti-doping stance. The team reviews blood levels before signing riders, and maintains an internal testing system. Before 2015, no rider had tested positive during or after his tenure at the team. American Tom Danielson tested positive for synthetic testosterone in August 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/08/news/tom-danielson-fails-doping-test_380297 |title=Tom Danielson fails doping test |website=VeloNews |publisher=Competitor Group, Inc. |date=August 3, 2015 |access-date=March 14, 2016 |location=San Diego, California |archive-date=October 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013191530/http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/08/news/tom-danielson-fails-doping-test_380297 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In October 2016, he accepted a four-year suspension for unintentionally consuming dehydroepiandrosterone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/danielson-says-ban-reduced-to-four-years-because-of-unintentional-ingestion/|title=Danielson says ban reduced to four years because of 'unintentional ingestion'|website=Cyclingnews.com |publisher=Immediate Media Company Limited |date=October 6, 2016|access-date=October 7, 2016 |location=Bath, England}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cyclingtips.com/2016/10/fourteen-months-later-usada-hands-tom-danielson-reduced-four-year-sanction-for-contaminated-supplement/|title=Updated: Fourteen months later, USADA hands Tom Danielson four-year sanction|author=Neal Rogers|date=October 7, 2016|website=cyclingtips.com|publisher=BikeExchange Pty.

== History == [[File:Jonathan_Vaughters.JPG|Jonathan Vaughters in 2008|thumb|150px|left]]
=== Slipstream Sports === Slipstream Sports LLC was an American professional cycling organization founded in 2003 by Jonathan Vaughters, Beth Seliga, and Doug Ellis.<ref>Vaughters, Jonathan. ''One-Way Ticket: Memoir of a Professional Cyclist''. New York: Penguin Random House, 2019, p. 338.</ref>
Doug Ellis served as a financial backer and co-founder of the organization, providing early funding and strategic support for the development of the team.<ref>Vaughters, Jonathan. ''One-Way Ticket''. p. 338.</ref>
Beth Seliga served in multiple operational roles in the organization’s early years, including finance, logistics, and media production, and was described by founder Jonathan Vaughters as central to the team’s early success.<ref>Vaughters, Jonathan. ''One-Way Ticket''. pp. 231, 338.</ref> Seliga also contributed to early team branding concepts, including ideas that influenced the team’s visual identity.<ref>Vaughters, Jonathan. ''One-Way Ticket''. p. 232.</ref>
=== Early years === Vaughters founded the team for 2003 as a junior development squad. Its sponsor was ''5280'' magazine in Denver. The following year TIAA–CREF became sponsor and Vaughters fielded professional and amateur riders. 5280 and TIAA–CREF continued to sponsor Garmin's youth riders in subsequent years, followed by the restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill.
=== 5280 Development Program (2003–2012) === The '''5280/Subaru Development Program''' was established in Colorado in 2003 by Jonathan Vaughters, Colby Pearce, and Dan Brogan to identify and develop junior cyclists, focusing on road and track racing as part of a broader athlete development pathway.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-10-14 |title=Join Slipstream team launch {{!}} Cyclingnews.com |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/join-slipstream-team-launch/ |access-date=2026-03-25 |website=Cyclingnews |language=en}}</ref>

=== 2007–2010 ===
In 2007, Slipstream Sports LLC took the management and the team raced under the name Team Slipstream, competing in UCI races across Europe and North America. Key riders included David Millar, Christian Vande Velde, Tom Danielson, and Will Frischkorn. The broader program was supported by staff working from the organization’s Girona base, including Johnny Weltz providing technical and tactical support and Katrina Grove as Operational and Accounting Director.
In 2008 Chipotle Mexican Grill began to sponsor the team and the team name was changed to Team Slipstream by Chipotle. The name was changed again in June 2008 after the navigation system manufacturer Garmin was announced as the title sponsor, a week prior to the 2008 Tour de France.
Their first major Tour was the 2008 Giro d'Italia, where they won the Team Time Trial and Christian Vande Velde wore the pink jersey for one stage. In the Tour de France Vande Velde finished fourth and the team was leading from stage 3 until stage 6. Garmin remained sponsor in 2009 and the team was renamed Garmin–Slipstream. In the 2009 Tour de France Bradley Wiggins was a major surprise, finishing fourth overall – later upgraded to third place after Lance Armstrong's results were voided by the UCI – while Vande Velde finished eighth.
In the 2009 Vuelta a España the sprinter Tyler Farrar, the time trial specialist David Millar and the Canadian Ryder Hesjedal took stage wins for the team. In 2010 Transitions Optical became co-sponsors of the team. Hesjedal was the best rider for the team in the 2010 Tour de France, finishing seventh.

On August 28, 2010, Garmin-Transitions announced it was switching working agreements from Felt Bicycles to Cervélo bikes, and that it would change its name to Garmin–Cervélo for the 2011 season. Felt chose not to exercise its option with Garmin-Transitions after a four-year working agreement. The Cervélo TestTeam folded and seven riders moved to Garmin–Cervélo, including then world champion Thor Hushovd.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2010/08/30/hushovd-joins-slipstream-sports-for-2011|title=Thor Hushovd Will Hunt for Major Classics Victory with New Team|date=August 30, 2010|website=slipstreamsports.com|publisher=Slipstream Sports|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101209083434/http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2010/08/30/hushovd-joins-slipstream-sports-for-2011|archive-date=December 9, 2010|access-date=December 5, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2010/09/01/press-release-slipstream-sports-announces-additions-to-2011-roster|title=Six more riders named to the new Garmin–Cervélo squad|date=September 1, 2010|website=slipstreamsports.com|publisher=Slipstream Sports|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912005132/http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2010/09/01/press-release-slipstream-sports-announces-additions-to-2011-roster|archive-date=September 12, 2012|access-date=December 5, 2010|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
Ahead of the 2012 season, the team again changed names to Garmin-Barracuda, after Barracuda Networks joined the team as a sponsor. Despite giving up the team's second name, Cervélo remained with the team as its official bicycle supplier.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2012/01/11/team-garmin-cervelo-officially-renamed-team-garmin-barracuda|title=Team Garmin–Cervélo Officially Renamed Team Garmin-Barracuda|date=January 11, 2012|access-date=January 11, 2012|work=Garmin-Barracuda|publisher=Slipstream Sports LLC|location=Boulder, Colorado; Campbell, California|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912130836/http://www.slipstreamsports.com/2012/01/11/team-garmin-cervelo-officially-renamed-team-garmin-barracuda|archive-date=September 12, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref> In June 2012, the Sharp Corporation became the second team name sponsor, although Barracuda remained a named member of the organisation.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/garmin-sharp-replaces-garmin-barracuda-at-the-tour-de-france|title=Garmin–Sharp replaces Garmin-Barracuda at the Tour de France|date=June 25, 2012|work=cyclingnews.com|access-date=June 26, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12206/Sharp-joins-Slipstream-Sports-as-co-sponsor-of-Team-Garmin.aspx|first=Ben|last=Atkins|work=VeloNation|date=June 25, 2012|access-date=June 26, 2012|title=Sharp joins Slipstream Sports as co-sponsor of Team Garmin}}</ref>
After months of speculation, Garmin–Sharp and {{UCI team code|CAN|2014}} announced on 20 August 2014 that for the 2015 season the two teams would merge. Cannondale became the title sponsor and bike supplier, with Garmin remaining a key team sponsor.

=== 2015–2021 === The 2015 season did not match the team's expectations, with only one World Tour win, courtesy of Davide Formolo at the Giro d'Italia. At the end of the season it was announced that long term team leaders, Dan Martin & Ryder Hesjedal would leave the team for Etixx Quickstep & Trek Factory Racing respectively. Co-title sponsor Garmin also announced they would not continue sponsorship of the team. In 2021, Japanese construction company Nippo Corporation became a co-title sponsor.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.efprocycling.com/sponsors/nippo-corporation/ |title=Nippo |date=2021 |website=EF Education-NIPPO |publisher=Slipstream Sports Inc |access-date=6 June 2021 |archive-date=June 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210606135242/https://www.efprocycling.com/sponsors/nippo-corporation/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Notable results == Between the 2009 and the 2018 UCI World Tours, the team finished inside the top-ten on six occasions. Notable results include: the 2009 Vattenfall Cyclassics and the 2010 Vattenfall Cyclassics with American Tyler Farrar, the 2010 Tour de Pologne, the 2013 Volta a Catalunya, the 2013 Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and the 2014 Giro di Lombardia with Irishman Dan Martin, the 2011 Tour Down Under with Australian Cameron Meyer, the 2011 Paris–Roubaix with Belgian Johan Vansummeren, the 2012 Giro d'Italia with Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné with American Andrew Talansky, the 2019 Tour of Flanders with Italian Alberto Bettiol, the 2019 Bretagne Classic Ouest–France with Belgian Sep Vanmarcke, the 2020 Critérium du Dauphiné with Colombian Daniel Martínez, and the 2021 Clásica de San Sebastián and the 2025 Dwars door Vlaanderen with American Neilson Powless.

Colombian Rigoberto Urán and Briton Bradley Wiggins finished second and third, respectively, in the 2017 and 2009 Tours de France. Briton Hugh Carthy finished third at the 2020 Vuelta a España. In 2010, {{UCI team code|GRS|2010|nolink=yes}} signed Norwegian Thor Hushovd, the reigning UCI Road World Race Champion. In 2010, Briton David Millar won the silver medal at the UCI Road World Time Trial Championships.
In 2015, 2018, and 2021, Lithuanian Ramūnas Navardauskas, Canadian Michael Woods, and Dane Michael Valgren won the bronze medal at their respective UCI Road World Race Championships. Between 2006 and 2012, the squad was partnered with American {{UCI team code|CDT+}} in the UCI America Tour. Between 2017 and 2019, it had ties to Australian {{UCI team code|DPV}} in the UCI Oceania Tour.
Between 2008 and 2023, the squad won 41 national road race and time trial championships.

Participants are tested repeatedly to develop a bio-stable marker profile.
Future tests check that these markers have not moved. If they have, it is a sign that the rider is ill or has taken performance-enhancing drugs. If any change has been noted, the rider cannot race until the markers have returned to normal. Riders are interviewed and tested for illness or doping.
Sports scientist Allen Lim was associated with the team’s performance and physiological monitoring during this period.<ref>InformationWeek – Saving Pro Cycling One Blackberry at a Time</ref>
== 2018 season funding issues == On 26 August 2017, during the Vuelta a España, Vaughters announced that a sponsor had backed out of a commitment to provide the team with funding for the following season, and that riders under contract for 2018 were free to seek employment elsewhere.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-10-16|title=Inside Slipstream's brush with death|url=https://www.velonews.com/news/road/inside-slipstreams-brush-with-death/|access-date=2020-09-03|website=VeloNews.com}}</ref> In an effort to allow the team to continue racing in the 2018 season and raise the US$7 million to continue for the next season under the UCI's requirements for a WorldTour team, a crowdfunding system was set up and other sponsors sought using the hashtag #SaveArgyle.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cannondale-drapac-uncertain-to-continue-in-2018/|title=Cannondale-Drapac uncertain to continue in 2018 |website=cyclingnews.com|date=August 26, 2017 |access-date=2019-09-03}}</ref> Raising over half a million dollars from ~4,700 donors was not quite enough to do the trick, however the campaign was an incredibly important stepping off point.
An employee of EF Education First contacted Vaughters after learning of Slipstream Sports' plight and alerted higherups at the company about the issue. After a failed pitch to EF back in 2014, the efforts of Slipstream this time were much more fruitful. After a decline of EF's 2017 offer of a one-year funding deal, Vaughters was able to convince chairman Phillip Hult to arrange an asset purchase from the majority owner of Slipstream, effectively rendering the team EF's.
