Slipstream Sports is the brainchild of Jonathan Vaughters and Doug Ellis. The pair founded the company in 2005 on the belief there was a better way to run a cycling team. First and foremost, Slipstream Sports has always been unwavering in its commitment to anti-doping and was the first company to institute its own internal testing protocols for a professional cycling team. With the addition of Drapac to the team name in 2016, Australian Michael Drapac became a co-owner of the Cannondale-Drapac Pro Cycling team.
