Farrar nabs his first Tour de France stage.

Another fantastic day for the Garmin-Cervelo. Tyler Farrar took the team another step up with yesterdays’s stage win after the team time trial win on Sunday. Garmin-Cervélo played the waiting game and once HTC had lead the race to the final act the Argyle’s with the maillot jaune took over piloting their man Farrar to a perfect stage victory on the 4th of July.

Garmin-Cervélo could hardly have written a better script to the opening days of the Tour de France. With Thor Hushovd in yellow thanks to the victory on Sunday’s team time trial, the Norwegian’s sprinter made the lead-out of Tyler Farrar to take his first TdF stage win.

“It makes it even more special to win today,” Farrar said. “The team was just perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better lead-out and equipment.

Garmin-Cervélo Tour de France roster

Team Garmin-Cervélo today announced its much-anticipated 2011 Tour de France roster. The squad features world champion Thor Hushovd, Christian Vande Velde, a two-time top-ten finisher, and Tyler Farrar, who has claimed stages at two other Grand Tours and with lead-out man Julian Dean, will be looking to add a third to his list. Ryder Hesjedal, who placed an impressive 7th overall in 2010 returns, as does recently crowned U.S. National Time Trial Champion, David Zabriskie.

David Millar, tour veteran, will feature throughout as a TT expert and rider strong both on the flats and in the mountains. Two riders will be making their Tour de France debut this year: Tom Danielson is coming off strong performances at the Tours of California and Suisse; and Lithuanian National Champion, Ramunas Navardauskas – the team’s youngest rider – rounds out the squad.

Dan Martin – An Irishman in California.

Before May 2011 Garmin-Cervélo rider Dan Martin had never been to California. His introduction to the state at this year’s Amgen Tour of California gave him a vivid view of the Golden State’s varied terrain and weather. From a 30-degree Tahoe blizzard to raking Central Valley winds to 75-degree Southern California sunshine, the 24-year old Irishman saw California in all its scenic moods.

After Martin had a chance to shower off all the champagne from the squad’s wild team podium celebration in Thousand Oaks, Garmin-Cervélo’s team photographer Mark Johnson caught up with him to collect his thoughts on his first-ever US race, where he placed a very respectable 14th overall.
