This is a team. We're not after the No. 1 ranked rider in the world. The objective is to be the No. 1 ranked team in the world.
There's no question that right now the Garmin-Cervelo team has the most talent that has ever been assembled on one squad.
20 riders that are all at the very top.
We have a really strong team. I mean we are always up in the front.
We've got the world champion Thor Hushovd.
He can sprint, he can climb, he can win ... anywhere.
In Norwegian, my name is Thor.
Johan Van Summeren - big, tall, goofy Belgian guy.
Announcer: Looks every bit the complete non-bike rider.
It would be good for me to be 10 centimeters less.
He won Paris Roubaix.
We have David Zabriskie.
He's an extremely different individual.
He's crazy.
I don't know what it's like at a race when I'm not there.
But I've heard it's really quiet and depressing.
Ryder Hesjedal can do everything. He can climb, he can time trial.
His parents lucked out on that naming there.
Announcer: Charging, snorting beast, to which is called Ryder Hesjedal.
You've got Tyler Farrar. He's one of the best sprinters in the world.
Tom Danielson, Christian Vande Velde, Dan Martin, Heinrich Haussler, Roger Hammond, David Millar.
It's ridiculous. You've got 5 teams' worth of talent on Garmin-Cervelo right now.
The Tour de France this year. The team has a lot of expectations.
Announcer: Still waiting for Garmin-Cervelo to see what they must do ...
Getting the riders to win, I need them to be a team and not individuals.
We're gonna have guys that could be top 10 in the GC, getting CLIF SHOT Gels, or getting water bottles for the guys in the Peloton.
Announcer: On the American team, Garmin-Cervelo is riding it out ...
When everybody comes together, that's when you have this unstoppable force.
It's not a group of individuals wearing the same uniform, it's a bonded team.
That's the way professional cycling should be.
