The Tour de France is just around the corner, and it’s time to revive the post about bike team names. This year, some new teams have come on the scene, and some old ones have dropped out of pro cycling. So let’s find who’s behind those continental-sounding corporate names, and learn a little about the teams that will compete in the Tour.
Tomorrow, a rundown of the remaining ten teams in the Tour.

Very informative post. The only teams I was truly aware of were Columbia-Highroad, Astana and Cervelo. Thanks.

I just wish the Nike-Livestrong thing had happened. Now those would have been cool uniforms!

What is interesting about Lance is how no one can really be certain whats going into the engine to make him this good. Dr Coyle’s bogus research into LA having a heart twice as big as anyone else’s has left us all scratching our heads again.
