With the Tour de Georgia and more Spring Classics fun on the April agenda, Team Slipstream/Chipotle H3O will be flying the argyle on two continents next week. The triple crown of classics kicks off Saturday with the Amstel Gold Race in the Netherlands. La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège wrap up a lovely week in Belgium.
While the hardened classics crew are tackling these dangerous, challenging courses, our top squad will be warming things up in Georgia. The Tour de Georgia kicks off in Savannah on Sunday, April 21 and will include a first-ever team time trial on Thursday, April 24.
Directeur Sportif Chann McRae will be directing the Argyle Armada in Georgia. He says the team’s goals are aggressive but solid, especially given the talented squad he has.
“We will put our climbers into the moves that go on the flatter stages early on. For the sprints, we will work to set Tyler up for a stage win,” said Chann. “We’re also going to focus efforts on the team time trial.”

Can someone at Slipstream verify when the kits will be available. I know you can buy at velogear.com but the “expected” date keeps slipping. Get on the folks at Pearl Izumi and tell them to start pumping out the merchandise. The weather is warming up in the US and the rest of the work and we all want to start flying the slipstream colors as we venture outside to ride. We especially want to wear the Argyle at the professional races too. The recruits are ready to roll. Yipee
way to go at the recent races with martijn’s recent string of results and CVV’s TT win…I can’t wait for the Tour de Georgia and Amstel, good luck guys
What Argyle Army said! Who has the franchise for Europe, or should I just drop by the bus on Sunday?
Hey Slipstream! At which hotel are you guys staying during the following week (AGR - FW - LBL)?
Greetings from Belgium!
I left Georgia a year ago, and never thought I’d miss it, but it’s definitely not going to be the same missing out on the action this year.
Good luck! Would love to be on Hogpen Gap cheering you on.
(Especially because JV’s a much better team car driver than he used to be! The first year with TIAA-Cref, he was all over the road!!)
