I'm surprised they still exist under this name given all the frequent sponsor changes in cycling. 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

Think so, 2nd in the Bonus, 6th at the line.

Great sprint by Ewan!! Surprisingly, there was no crash at the end. Alaphilippe retains the yellow jersey & Sagan takes the green off of Kirstoff.

yep Green is the color, Sagan is the name   but what an awful sprint from him today. sprint tactics zero lol

What about AG2R? It's always AG2R something but still AG2R. And it's like this from two decades I believe, maybe more.

Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing. FdJ, AG2R, and Cofidis are the only teams that stayed constant, since I started watching cycling around 2010.

Oh yeah, I forgot about these guys. 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?

No, @hckosice was talking about a different French team. 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.

Think Rabobank still exist as a local development Dutch team.
