EF Education Partners with EasyPost for 2022

EF Education has partnered with transportation company EasyPost for the 2022 season and beyond. The team will race as EF Education-EasyPost, while Japanese construction materials company Nippo will remain as a secondary sponsor.

The team has not yet announced its race kit for the season, but earlier this week announced that Rigoberto UrĂ¡n, Lachlan Morton, Esteban Chaves, and Magnus Korto will all be racing. The new jerseys will be unveiled at the end of January.

In a press release issued on Friday, Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of EF Pro Cycling, and Jarrett Strebin, CEO of Easy Post, welcomed the news.

"When we turned our attention to cycling, there was never any question as to where we would be involved. I have been following JV's work since the days of Argyle and Sideburns.

"He leads the world in his commitment to ethical cycling and pushing the boundaries of human performance; JV has also led cycling in his approach to nutrition and technology. Likewise, EasyPost leads the industry in reliability and technology. So we are excited to join forces with the greatest cycling team in America."

Vaughters has run the team since its inception as a junior and development team in the mid-2000s. The American team debuted in the Tour de France in 2008 and has since competed in the World Tour, becoming one of the most successful teams on the circuit. After a period of economic instability, the team established stability when EF joined as title sponsor in 2018.

"From a sports perspective, it's really great to have Jarrett and Easypost as part of the team. We are in agreement on the team's performance goals and how to get there," Vaughters said.

"EasyPost is a company built on innovation and efficiency, which is very similar to how our team operates. We have really good riders and staff and will continue to get better because of EasyPost.

"I look forward to seeing us work on the business component of the partnership as well. Our job is to get the EasyPost name out there, help them expand their business, and show the world what an innovative and fast-growing business EasyPost is."

Nippo will also remain a co-naming partner of the EF Education-Nippo Development team in 2022.
