Giro d'Italia 2010: the DFL - Cyclingnews - Litespeed Team (in it's fourth year at this time) enters the race with Cadel Evans as it's leader and Edvald Boasson Hagen as their main sprinter. The Norwegian had already stage-wins from Le Tour and La Vuelta in his bags (as well as a points classification each). And while Evans would miss out on a bigger result (9th in the GC eventually), "Eddy the Boss" made himself a GT-legend. Collecting 4 stage-wins (from a total 7 for DFL) and comfortably winning his third GT-points jersey!
In probably the longest running In-story Grand Tour ever (starting to report the race in 2011, finishing it off in 2014), Yaroslav Popovych did take the overall primes for Lampre. Go check this award-winning piece of writing (Team story of the year 2008).
