"It's an honor to be recognized again this year," commented Team Manager Rolf Aldag to his team's Press Office. "Just as in 2009, we won races all season long, including 12 Grand Tour stage wins, three stages plus the overall at Tour Down Under, two stages plus the overall at Tour of California, plus GP Plouay, and eight national championship titles. It was another winning year for the team."
