Team Garmin-Sharp Tour de France Roster

Five years ago, while Alberto Contador was riding to victory in the Tour de France, Andrew Talansky was scratching out a living in races across the United States. Last month, Talansky secured the overall victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné on the final stage putting more than a minute into overnight leader Contador. Today, the 25-year-old Talansky is ready to lead Team Garmin-Sharp in pursuit of the Tour de France yellow jersey. Andrew will be supported by a strong argyle squad, including fellow young Americans Ben King and Alex Howes, both making their Tour de France debuts this year. Howes has been a part of the Slipstream organization since he was a junior in 2004. Tom-Jelte Slagter comes off a strong season to-date with stage wins at Paris-Nice and top-ten finishes in La Fleche Wallone and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Sebastian Langeveld, the newly crowned Dutch National Road Champion, has netted top-ten finishes in this year’s Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders. The team is rounded out by 2011 Paris-Roubaix winner, Johan Vansummeren; Janier Acevedo, 9th overall in the recent Tour de Suisse and the Tour of California,  Ramunas Navardauskas, 2014 Lithuanian National Time Trial Champion, and Jack Bauer, who won the Prologue of the 2014 ...

After 17 years as a professional, after completing a dozen Tours de France (winning stages and earning the yellow jersey), after numerous completions of the Giro and Vuelta, after winning national championships and numerous international races he stood in Compiègne with thoughts and emotions usually reserved for us mortals. You see—he had never completed Paris-Roubaix, he had tried many times…but couldn’t. So for the first time since he was 17 years old he was in a race to “finish,” to overcome self-doubt, apprehension and good old fashioned fear, to slay the dragon which had eluded him. For those of us who ride—maybe even race a bit—we understand, so go behind the scenes and listen to David in his own words and learn just how he came to be there, at that moment and how he found the strength within to see ...
