With a team as stacked as they are they should win a hell of a lot more than they do. If Garmin wasn't tactically *** they might actually we a lot more.

27 wins out of how many days racing? A team with the likes of Hushovd, Farrar, Haussler, CVV, Le Mevel, Millar, RH ought to be winning a hell of a lot more.

With the possible exception of Farrar, none of these guys are known for being big winners. Hushovd had his run at the Tour and Haussler had his 2009 season but the rest of these guys are pretty limited and their palmares shows it. Millar will win the odd ITT/prologue and as a team they'll may win one of the few TTT's that may be available but otherwise they don't have a rider or riders that is dominant in one particular aspect or more. I'm sure they are more than happy with their 27 wins.

You mean, you don't consider USAPCC the 4th grand tour?! :confused::) If VdV finished Le Tour, he probably wouldn't have podiumed in Colorado. ;)

You know, he did finnish. :p 17th so not all shabby.

Of course TdF was mostly done in air which actually contained oxygen.
