I believe Francaise de Jeux is only other team that has kept the same name for more than a decade? yeah like Direct Energie aka former Team Bonjour aka former team Brioches La Boulangere aka former Bouygues Telecom team aka former BBox Bouygues aka former Europcar Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmo 180 Posted August 31, 2020 #154 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Great sprint by Ewan!! Surprisingly, there was no crash at the end. Alaphilippe retains the yellow jersey & Sagan takes the green off of Kirstoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's like this from two decades I believe, maybe more. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FdJ, AG2R, and Cofidis are the only teams that stayed constant, since I started watching cycling around 2010. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Not gonna lie, I still remenber Banesto, Kelme and ONCE as the top teams so I'm kinda behind schedule with all the sponsor changes and which "new" team is actually an "old" team with a new sponsor. @hckosice seems to imply Cofidis had some name changes in the last decade? Lotto remained a fixture for over 20 years as well but they're gone now, right? Jumbo-Visma is more Rabobank or more Lotto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember their current name, but they used to be Direct Energie. Lotto Soudal is still in the field. Astana hasn’t changed names in the last decade either I think. I feel like Movistar has been around for quite a while too. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
