EF Education-EasyPost

EF Education-EasyPost is an American-registered UCI WorldTeam, with headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. They have existed since 2003, and have been a WorldTour level team since 2009. The founder and manager of the team is Jonathan Vaughters, who is a former pro, and prizes himself on having a 'different kind of pro cycling team.' 

EF Education-EasyPost took 12 pro wins in the 2026 season, including a stage of the Giro d'Italia, and two stages in the Tour de France. They also took a GC win, at the Tour de lAin, with Marijn Van den Berg. 

The team let Richard Carapaz go a year before the end of his contract at the end of the 2026 season, citing financial difficulties. Whilst the loss of this charismatic and persistent racer will be felt by the squad, they are certain they will be able to continue to perform at the highest level in 2027 and beyond.

EF Education-EasyPost was founded in 2003 by Jonathan Vaughters, and has been a WorldTour team since 2009. At that point they were known as Team Garmin-Slipstream, and Garmin remained a title sponsor until 2015, with a wide range of co-partners including Barracuda, Cervélo, and Cannondale. 

EF Education has been a title sponsor of the team since 2018, and EasyPost joined as the co-title sponsor in 2022, having taken the place of Nippo. 

In 2009, Bradley Wiggins, then riding for the team, was a breakout surprise, coming fourth in the Tour de France, which was later upgraded to third following the voiding of Lance Armstrong's results. Vaughters later fought against project Team Sky, who ultimately won the battle to poach Wiggins from the team. 

The team has been extremely successful in their time, gathering a total of 48 Grand Tour stage wins. They have won one Grand Tour- Canadian Ryder Hesjedal won the Giro in 2012, with Garmin-Sharp. 

Irish rider Ben Healy spent some time in the yellow jersey in the 2025 Tour de France, having finishing third on Stage 10. He battled hard to keep it, eventually losing it on stage 12, despite a gutsy performance in the mountains, supported by Australian Harry Sweeny. 

At the end of 2026, Richard Carapaz left the team, having signed a contract with NSN, despite having a year remaining on his contract. The team cited financial difficulties, especially with the departure of Oatly as a title sponsor for the women's team. The team is not concerned about this, having strong riders on the squad, including Healy, and Neilson Powless. They also signed former Giro winner Tao Geoghegan Hart. 

Vaughters, and the team, prize themselves on being unlike other teams, which includes among other things, a range of wacky, colourful kits. 

The complete 2027 EF Education-EasyPost roster has not yet been officially confirmed. Confirmed 2027 additions include Tao Geoghegan Hart, while several established riders have renewed their contracts.
