Season victories
The 2011 season for the cycling team began in January at the Tour Down Under and ended in October at the Noosa Grand Prix. As a UCI ProTeam, they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour. For 2011, the team added Cervélo as a major co-sponsor, after they had, for two seasons, fronted their own professional team, the . Seven riders from Cervélo TestTeam joined Garmin-Cervélo for 2011, perhaps chief among them reigning world champion Thor Hushovd. The team took 26 victories in 2011, 25 of which officially count. After having raced the Tour de France for the last three years without any victories, they took four stage wins and the team award at the 2011 Tour. Also a first for the team, they held the yellow jersey for a week with Hushovd. They also placed a rider in the top ten overall - Tom Danielson in ninth. They also took stage wins at both of the season's other Grand Tours, though their Giro d'Italia was marred by the death of Wouter Weylandt, a close friend of Garmin-Cervélo rider Tyler Farrar. Garmin-Cervélo had wins in each month of the season and with 11 different riders, in addition to a team time trial at the Tour de France. Shortly after the team's lone stage race overall win of the year, the season-opening Tour Down Under, the board of directors fired Matt White, who had been a member of the team's management since 2008, for reasons relating to medical treatment of a former rider.
