According to a press release issued today, Garmin has a new co-sponsor, Barracuda Networks, and will race as Garmin-Barracuda beginning at the Tour Down Under. Barracuda provides network and content security to corporate clients. The company counts Coca-Cola, FedEx, Harvard University, IBM, L'Oreal, and Europcar among its clients. Team manager Jonathan Vaughters expects to create a long-term partnership with the new sponsor, who replaces Cervélo as the Slipstream co-sponsor. Cervélo will continue to provide bikes to the team.

"We are always looking for partners who, like Garmin, share our passion and commitment to the best innovations in technology, and Barracuda Networks is a perfect fit," said Jonathan Vaughters, CEO of Slipstream Sports and Director Sportif of Team Garmin-Barracuda. "The partnership with Barracuda Networks is long-term and the company will also allow Slipstream Sports to continue to pursue other co-title sponsor opportunities."
The team will begin racing in their newly designed jersey at the upcoming Tour Down Under. New jersey? Pretty much like the old jersey. Except they added the new sponsor, which is nice, because you know, they're paying for that.
