Team with the most stage winners

[TrudyTas]

Can anyone confirm or deny if Saxo Bank is the team (with original 9 riders) is the one with the most TDF stage winners?

I think Astana have a few more stage wins in their 9 starters than in Saxo Bank's 9 starters. Lance Armstrong has 22 stage victories himself. In fact, I think that is more than any other team (not including Astana of course) when it comes to total number of stage wins.

He asked Stage WINNERS not stage wins. Saxo Bank has 6 stage winners now in their team and second is Astana with 4 winners. Rabobank and Agritubel have 3 winners each.

Well now we have both, but don't get short with someone for misreading something by posting in capitals.

Since I'm a bit bored:

Astana - 25 wins from 4 riders
Saxo - 11 wins from 6 riders
Cervelo - 11 wins from 3 riders
Columbia - 11 wins from 3 riders
QuickStep - 8 wins from 3 riders
Rabobank - 6 wins from 3 riders
Garmin - 4 wins from 2 riders
Katusha - 4 wins from 2 riders
Caisse - 3 wins from 2 riders
BBox - 3 wins from 2 riders
Agritubel - 3 wins from 3 riders
AG2R - 2 wins from 2 riders
Cofidis - 2 wins from 2 riders
Liquigas - 2 wins from 1 rider
Silence-L - 1 win from 1 rider
Euskaltel - 1 win from 1 rider
FdJ - 1 win from 1 rider
Milram - 1 win from 1 rider

I may have forgotten some. By the way, some wins are second places where the stage winner tested positive, i.e. Efimkin has one win. And I have not counted DS's, too much work

Thanks folks for your answers - nice to have my hunch confirmed. Pity two of those 6 have been lost by such nasty accidents .
