“In one short year the team went from vision to reality and for us, we could not be happier," said Felt’s US president Bill Duehring. "Jonathan Vaughters has done a brilliant job of putting all the pieces together. Between the team’s core message and its bona fide results, it is clear that Team Garmin-Chipotle is the new face of cycling. Felt is proud of this association.”

Felt will be offering three different team model bikes in 2009, including the AR Team Issue, the Z35 Team and the F95 Team.

"The relationship we have with Felt is tremendous,” said Vaughters, Slipstream Sports director and CEO. “Not only do they know their business better than any other, they work tirelessly with our riders and staff to push the edge of what’s technologically possible. We are fortunate to work with such a progressive and passionate bicycle company.”
