  • Introduction to the Introduction to the Teams
    INTRODUCTION TO THE TEAMS AND RIDERS TO WATCH FOR GarminGarmin----TransitionsTransitions Ryder Hesjedal, 7th overall in the Tour de France, and the first Canadian Top 10 finisher in the Grande Boucle since Steve Bauer in 1988, will be looking to shine in front of the home crowd. EuskaltelEuskaltel----EuskadiEuskadi This team is made up almost entirely of cyclists from the Basque Country. Samuel Sánchez, Gold Medalist at the Beijing Olympics, narrowly missed the podium in this year’s Tour de France. Rabobank The orange-garbed team brings a 100% Dutch line-up to Québec and Montréal, led by Robert Gesink, a 24-year-old full of promise who finished 6th overall in the 2010 Tour de France, and solid lieutenants like Joost PosthumaPosthuma and Bram Tankink. Team RadioShack Lance Armstrong’s team fields a strong entry, featuring the backbone of the squad that competed in the Tour de France, including Levi Leipheimer (USA), 3rd overall in the 2007 Tour and Bronze Medalist in the Individual Time Trial in Beijing, Janez Brajkovic (Slovenia), winner of the 2010 Critérium du Dauphiné, and Sergio Paulinho (Portugal), who won a stage in this year’s Tour de France and was a Silver Medalist in Athens in 2004 and Yaroslav Popovych (Ukraine), former top 3 on the Tour of Italy. LiquigasLiquigas----DoimoDoimo This Italian squad will be counting on Ivan Basso, who won this year’s Giro d’Italia but faded in the Tour de France, but also on this past spring’s sensation, 20-year-old Peter Sagan of Slovakia, who won two stages of the Paris-Nice race, two in the Tour of California and one in the Tour de Romandie.
