2011 Reader Poll: HTC-Highroad selected best team

It was a bittersweet year for the HTC-Highroad squad, and professional cycling in general, as both the men's and women's teams continued their prolific winning ways all season long, yet disbanded after efforts to land a new title sponsor came up empty. In a fitting curtain call to the squad's seemingly ubiquitous place on podiums throughout the year, Cyclingnews' readers awarded HTC-Highroad the best team of 2011 honours with 8,434 votes (39.0%), 3,848 more than runner-up Garmin-Cervélo.
