 The team proved to be a prolific winner in stage race events over the summer . The first was the Tour de Luxembourg , a race with special meaning for the team as it is in Luxembourg where they are headquartered and derive much of their identity . Several riders all but certain to participate in the forthcoming Tour de France rode the Tour de Luxembourg . Cancellara dominantly won the 2 @.@ 6 km ( 1 @.@ 6 mi ) prologue individual time trial , finishing five seconds the better of Team Europcar 's Damien Gaudin . No other time gap from one rider to the next exceeded three seconds , and most were only fractions of a second . Two days later , Gerdemann seized control of the race by winning stage 2 after dropping two breakaway companions . He rode solo to the win 9 seconds ahead of the peloton , which gave him the race lead . He retained through the conclusion of the race two days later , thus taking the overall crown . Later in the month of June came the Tour de Suisse . Cancellara again proved the best in the prologue time trial , this one 7 @.@ 1 km ( 4 @.@ 4 mi ) long , besting HTC – Highroad 's Tejay van Garderen by 9 seconds . He then won the longer time trial stage that concluded the event eight days later , a 32 @.@ 1 km ( 19 @.@ 9 mi ) race against the clock . This performance was not as dominant , as his winning margin was again 9 seconds , this time over Team RadioShack 's Andreas Klöden . The team missed out on the event 's final podium but nonetheless showed strongly overall , with Fuglsang , Fränk Schleck , and Monfort all finishing in the top ten . Andy Schleck also took what is for his career a relative rarity gaining a noteworthy result outside the Tour de France . He won the climber 's jersey , having first taken it after stage 7 . Later in the summer , the team won stages at three further events , with Bennati winning sprints at the Tour of Austria and the Tour de Wallonie , and Fuglsang a solo win at the end of a finishing circuit in stage 3 at the Tour of Denmark .
