The Tour de France just finished and Team CSC's Carlos Sastre won it. Once again, the rider with the best team won. Unfortunately, the tour does little to recognize the winning teams. The team with the best overall time (top 3 finishers from each stage) gets to stand on the platform, but they get no named trophy. The teammates of the yellow jersey don't even get that.
It would be nice if the winning teams could get a named trophy so they could be known for the rest of their careers as winners of that trophy. For example, if the teammates of the yellow jersey got a yellow cap, Carlos Sastre's CSC teammates could be 2008 yellow cap winners. George Hincapie would be an 8 time yellow cap winner. Teammates are a key part of winning the Tour de France and they ought to be recognized.
