Who's Riding For Omega - Pharma-Quickstep in the Tour de France

This is most certainly one of the teams to watch, and watch closely. Belgian UCI World Tour cycling team Omega-Pharma Quickstep, headed up by former Belgian pro cyclist Patrick Lefevere, these guys know how to dominant a race.

The booty

This year alone the team has taken out 40 wins (last year they hit 63) and is currently placed at the top of the World Ranking. The team placed first in last year’s Team Time Trial competition in Florence, Italy. Equally impressive highlights from last year include team member Mark Cavendish’s 5-stage win at the Giro d’Italia and four Tour de France successes.
