Garmin has extended its sponsorship of the US-based professional cycling team that bears its name. The satellite navigation manufacturer has re-signed to the ProTour squad until the end of 2013.

Team owner Jonathan Vaughters said: "When Garmin first decided to partner with us, we said we believed that a new era of cycling was upon us. Today, with this significant extension, we can now say - the era is here."

"Garmin's commitment to innovation and integrity mirrors our own, and knowing that we have their partnership for the next four years means that we can continue to develop the next generation of cycling champions," said Vaughters. "We can continue to make technological innovations that will give our riders a competitive advantage on the road. And off the road, we can continue to help better the sport."

Jon Cassat, Garmin's vice president of communications, added: "The success of the team spans the globe and surpassed our expectations for the first year and a half of our title sponsorship, bringing Garmin's reputation for quality, commitment, performance and productivity into countless households in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia," said Jon Cassat, Garmin's vice president of communications.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
