Your 2009 Pro Team

During some very lovely weekend rides I was pondering my 'if I didn't have a budget limit' pro team. I tried to have a bit of a mix; classics riders, a grand Tour overall contender, domestics, strong men, youth and experience. I have probably missed a few, my knowledge of some teams is skinny and I have shown bias as there are riders I just flat out enjoy watching race (ie; three are from Saxo Bank).
Anyway, in alphabetical order, my team:
Allesandro Ballan
Tom Boonen
Matti Breschel
Fabian Cancellara
Mark Cavendish
Sylvain Chavanel
Alberto Contador
Allan Davis
Julian Dean
Stijn Devolder
Robert Gesink
Andre Greipel
Henrich Haussler
Kim Kirchen
Martijn Maaskant
Dan Martin
Maxime Monfort
Nick Nuyens
Stuart O’Grady
Samuel Sanchez
Andy Schleck
Greg Van Avermaet
Jens Voigt
William Walker
Fabian Wegmann
