The 2010 UCI cycling season has begun and I'm very excited for this season to really take off. The teams that I'm particularly looking to stay up-to-date with are of course the Argyle Armada of Garmin-Transition, Team Sky, and team BMC.
Garmin-Transition has already has a couple victories on their board for 2010 and they are a force to watch this Pro-tour season. Even though they lost their 4th place GC Tour de France triple gold medal winner Wiggo (Bradley Wiggins), their roster is strengthened by Robbie Hunter formally of Barloworld and little Meyer joins older brother Cameron Meyer. Travis Meyer just won the Australian Open Road Race Championship for a repeat victory from last year.

Team Sky is a new British ProTour cycling team which will consist of big hitters like Bradley Wiggins formally of Garmin-Slipstream, Michael Barry from Columbia-HTC, Simon Gerrans from Cervelo Test Team, Juan Antonio Flecha from Rabobank, Chris Sutton from Garmin-Slipstream, Ben Swift from Team Katusha, and many others.
Thy will be riding one of the most eye appealing, curvy, all new Pinarello Dogma 60.1.

BMC is a US ProContinential team that is looking for a wildcard UCI license with it's international resume dense roster. This includes former road world champion rainbow jersey wearer Alessandro Ballan from Lampre, current road world champion rainbow jersey wearer Cadel Evans from Team Lotto, George Hincapie formally of Columbia-HTC and others.
Congratulations to the team who just received approval of their UCI ProTour status.

Lance Armstrong's partnership with RadioShack can't be discounted. Team RadioShack has cyclist that re-unite with Lance again such as Levi Leimpheimer, Andreas Kloden, and Yaroslav Popovych. Their roster also includes the big names such as Fumiyuki Beppu formally of Skil-Shimano, Chris Horner of Astana, Jason McCartney of Saxo-Bank, Gert Steegmans of Team Katusha, and many others. This of course is under the direction of Johan Bruyneel.
