Garmin vs Sky 2010

[L'arriviste]

That is disappointing. They could've gone way more overboard with that one.

I agree. I never thought I'd say it about Team Argyle, but that particular jersey is too subtle!

If one goes by UCI points -- a flawed metric to be sure, but it does have some value -- there's no contest. Garmin has 393 points to Sky's 231.

But really, the best metric is the team that has Wiggins' fat contract and the team that does not. Garmin wins this category by a landslide.

Current team ranking:

7 GARMIN - TRANSITIONS (GRM) USA 839
15 SKY PROFESSIONAL CYCLING TEAM (SKY) GBR 435

Garmin clubbed Sky like a baby seal.

Not much to choose from in numbers. In terms of visibility and prestige, a world of difference.

I had (too) high hopes for Sky at the beginning of 2010, especially after Flecha won the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Garmin, on the other hand, seem to improve every year.

Next year will probably be no different results wise. Sky will have a better year for sure but Garmin has also dropped a lot of dead weight and replaced it with Cervelo awesomesause so they will take a giant step closer to HTC I think.
