User:Green-eyed girl/2008 Cofidis season

The 2008 season for the cycling team began in January with the Tour Down Under and ended in October with the Giro di Lombardia. As a UCI ProTeam, they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to each event in the UCI ProTour. The team also participated in each of the season's Grand Tours, getting two stage wins and the overall combativity award in the Tour de France and a stage win and the King of the Mountains prize in the Vuelta a España.

Cofidis was moderately successful in 'stage hunting' in 2008, achieving many victories in individual stages to other stage races. They also had one overall victory in a stage race, Stéphane Augé in Four Days of Dunkirk. The team's manager continues to be Eric Boyer.
