We held multiple leader’s jerseys including the Maglia Rosa, the points jersey and the young rider’s jersey at the Giro d’Italia, the green and white jerseys at the Tour de France, and we won the overall green jersey at the Vuelta a Espana - HTC - Columbia's first in a Grand Tour.

In 2009, HTC-Columbia riders scored overall victories throughout the world: Multiple stage wins in the Tours of Britain, Missouri, Poland, Austria, Qatar, California, the Basque Country and Murcia in Spain; the Ster Elektrotoer in Holland, Eneco Tour in Benelux, the Bayern Rundfahrt in Germany, the Tour of Romandie in Switzerland and the Three Days of De Panne in Belgium.

TEAM OF THE YEAR

For the past two consecutive years, we have been ranked as the world’s number one team by industry experts including Eurosport, ProCycling magazine, Velonews magazine, and Cyclingnews.com. In 2009, three HTC-Columbia riders were ranked among Eurosport’s Top Ten Cyclists, including Number One-Ranked Mark Cavendish. And the fans spoke clearly, with website polls on at least three continents voting our team “best team” or “favorite team.”
