Not a particularly good team - QUICKSTEP - INNERGETIC
Season: August 2009
DB: PCM Spain

If you wonder how I got Valverde:
In December 2007 (I think) He still didn't have a contract for 2008 which means he would have had a year off. If you wait till approximately 25th of December, you'll get most riders for half of their usual salary - got him for 50.000. He only asked for 40.000. I just added 10.000 to the offer to make sure he would come. I got Chris Sutton/Allan Davis and a few others the same way.

I've won a lot with that team, basically all the classics (I've won every ProTour one-day-race in 2009 with either Valverde/Boonen or Hagen).
Won all ProTour (and most other) cobbled classics with Boonen from 2007-2009 apart from Roubaix 2008, which he missed due to injury.
Vuelta 2008 with Valverde. Giro 2009 with Intxausti. Practically all Prologues from 2007-2009 of all ProTour events with either Kittel/Wiggins/Grabovskyy/Zabriskie/Rosseler. Won about 15-18 Tour stages between 2007-2009. Hagen and Boonen combined for 9 victories in this year's Tour.
Current WC is Valverde, ITT WC is Wiggins.
I've never won the Tour though - managed 2nd in 2009 with Valverde. Orozco is currently leading the 2009 edition of the Vuelta at stage 9.

Alright guys here it comes. In fact I just changed a few things like Fatigue and race days as to make sure you can still race any upcoming events in 2009 with most riders without experiencing problems. Most riders are now down to almost zero fatigue and between 20-40 race days.
WC are at hand and all hilly riders + all TT riders (except for Kittel who injured during Vuelta) are either already in shape or training at 80% to peak during the Worlds.

Best riders: Boonen, Valverde, Hagen, Inxausti, Gilbert.....and many more.

This team is absolutely invincible in cobbled races (6 riders > 79 CO. Not like Boonen couldn't win everything single-handedly with 85 COB but the last 10 riders at f.e. Roubaix usually contain at least 4 QSI riders, unmatched in hilly classics (4 riders 80+).
The only smaller weakness is stage racing even though we won Vuelta 2008 and Giro 2009. Contador, however, is a class of his own winning the Tour 2007-2009.
Contador does not yet have a contact for 2010, so you might try to contract him in december. Oh yeah, Visconti is heading towards CSC in 2010 - not like you'd need him with Rovny, Vanendert lined up.
