It has been plagued with problems early in the 2012 Tour but Rabobank– with less than half its original line-up – is the winner of the team prize in stage 14 thanks to Luis Léon Sanchez's win in Foix and Steven Kruiswijk (who was 11th). It helps that this pair was part of the escape and thus the outfit finished with a lead of 8'51” on the next-best squad (Liquigas-Cannondale).
For its part, RadioShack-Nissan is clearly racing for the overall team prize. It has five men in the first 17 overall so they could, in theory, launch a volley of attacks but instead they maintain their consistency and the reward is a dominant lead of the overall team rankings.
