BTW, the team with undoubtedly the butt-fugliest kit, Footon, is solidly esconced in the middle of the Bottom 5:
18. KATUSHA TEAM 271h 23’ 05” + 3h 28’ 05”
19. CERVELO TEST TEAM 271h 46’ 56” + 3h 51’ 56”
20. FOOTON-SERVETTO 273h 10’ 36” + 5h 15’ 36”
21. LAMPRE - FARNESE 273h 45’ 02” + 5h 50’ 02”
22. TEAM MILRAM 274h 00’ 41” + 6h 05’ 41”
This was a dissapointment after both teams had strong starts. HTC didn’t have a GC contender (Cavendish wearing #111), and Garmin lost theirs (Christian Vandevelde) to injury after Stage 3:
16. GARMIN - TRANSITIONS 271h 13’ 07” + 3h 18’ 07”
17. TEAM HTC - COLUMBIA 271h 20’ 26” + 3h 25’ 26”
Both teams were heavy on trialers and sprinters and not much else.
