As a UCI ProTour team, they were automatically invited and obliged to attend every event in the ProTour. The team's manager is former cyclist Jonathan Vaughters, who has led the team since its inception in 2003. The most noteworthy rider movement from 2009 is actually a departure – the team loses Bradley Wiggins, fourth-place finisher in the 2009 Tour de France, to the new SKY 2010.Benson, Daniel & Tyler, Richard "Bradley Wiggins signs with Team Sky" http://cylingnews.com 2009-12-10 Time trial specialist Tom Zirbel was originally signed for the 2010 season, but was subsequently left off the roster due to a mid-November positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone.

He fell 55 km on from the finish line and appeared to be out of contention for the stage victory, as the peloton rode away from him. Bobridge and Meyer stayed with Farar to pace him back into the leading group, and he made it. Farrar also made a split in the field brought about by a massive crash with 7.2 km on left to race. Garmin's was the only sprint train left mostly intact by all the crashes, and Dean was Farrar's last leadout man en route to the stage win.

However, the team's fortunes were not the same in stage 3 as they had been the day before. Just as he had in stage 3 of the 2009 Giro d'Italia, Vandevelde crashed and retired from the race. Farrar also had a bad day, finishing with the second group on the road and dropping well away from any chance of holding the pink jersey.

While he led the peloton across the finish line at the head of a field sprint, this sprint was only for fourth place, as the peloton had mistimed the catch of a three-man breakaway and lost out on a chance for a stage win themselves.

Farrar made a late split in the field to contest a depleted bunch finish, but no other Garmin riders did. This meant Farrar had to contest the sprint without any sort of leadout, and managed third behind Matthew Goss and Filippo Pozzato. Third, however, was good enough to give Farrar the red jersey as points classification leader.

Over 50 riders formed a leading group ahead of the race's overall favorites, with the stage winner coming across the finish line nearly 13 minutes ahead of them. While Garmin had Martin and Millar in this group, they were not present to contest the stage win. Farrar finished the stage over 46 minutes behind the stage winner, in a large group with most of the Giro's remaining sprinters. The time gap meant they stood the risk of being disqualified from the Giro. Race officials did not eliminate the group, but instead assessed each of them a 25-point penalty in the points classification. Farrar still led the classification and held the red jersey, but his lead was narrowed considerably, to the point that he was certain he could not win the jersey at the conclusion of the Giro.Andrew Hood http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/05/news/filippo-pozzato-snags-win-on-2010-giro-ditalias-12th-stage-porte-retains-lead_114804 Filippo Pozzato snags win on 2010 Giro d’Italia’s 12th stage, Porte retains lead 2010-05-20 VeloNews Competitor Group Inc. 2010-06-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20100625031417/http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/05/news/filippo-pozzato-snags-win-on-2010-giro-ditalias-12th-stage-porte-retains-lead_114804 25 June 2010 live Farrar, who had plans to ride all three Grand Tours as well as the world championships, left the race two days later, but made a specific point not to do so while he still held the red jersey. The squad was quiet in the second half of the Giro. Only Dean, Fischer, Martin, and Meyer completed the race. Stage 18 was the only mass sprint finish in the Giro's third week.

Garmin-Transitions was perhaps the team most affected – Dean, Farrar, Vandevelde, Hunter, and Millar all crashed, with Millar reportedly crashing three separate times and Vandevelde twice.

Hesjedal made the day's major breakaway, and rode away from them as the cobbles began. A five-rider chase group, led by Cancellara, caught him in the sectors just before the finish line. He did, however, manage to stay with this group, placing fourth on the day.

The stage was notable for events which took place during that sprint. Farrar's leadout man Dean and Cavendish's leadout man Mark Renshaw clashed for position at the head of the peloton in the stage's final meters. As Dean led Farrar up the middle of the road with Renshaw to his left, the Aussie responded by head-butting him. Renshaw later stated that he was trying to keep Dean from maneuvering him into the roadside barricades, with safety as much a concern as victory, and Dean's line did deviate slightly as he rode. Amid the chaos, the three principal sprinters jumped for an unusually long final kick to the line, starting 400 m on out. Race officials later expelled Renshaw from the Tour for the headbutting. Dean was not punished for the incident, though the possibility for penalty existed – Cavendish himself was assessed a penalty in the 2009 Tour de France for similar irregular sprinting.Les Clarke http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11/results Cavendish takes win number three 2010-07-15 Cycling News Future Publishing Limited 2010-12-22 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100820154009/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11/results 2010-08-20 The next day, Farrar left the race, revealing that he had sustained a broken wrist when he crashed in Belgium and rode the next nine days in severe pain.Gregor Brown http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/491758/farrar-abandons-tour-and-puts-dream-of-stage-win-on-hold.html Farrar abandons Tour and puts dream of stage win on hold 2010-07-16 Cycling Weekly IPC Media Limited 2010-12-22 Hunter had also abandoned, the day before.Conal Andrews http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/4899/Tour-de-France-disappointment-for-Garmin-Transitions-as-Hunter-is-forced-out.aspx Tour de France: disappointment for Garmin Transitions as Hunter is forced out 2010-07-15 VeloNation VeloNation LLC 2010-12-22 Hesjedal found his form again in stage 15, a difficult mountain stage which crossed the Port de Balès. He was 16th on the stage, four minutes back of the solo winner and one minute back of new race leader Contador, but he gained time against riders like Joaquim Rodríguez, Chris Horner, and Ivan Basso, who had been ahead of him. This result put him back in the top ten overall.

Partially due to a drastic change in wind direction as the day went on, stage winner Cancellara and the second placed Tony Martin had much better times than anyone else. Zabriskie's fifth place was three minutes off Cancellara's time, a gap of unusual size for a time trial among top level professionals. Hesjedal was 52nd on the day, but since Rodríguez was 154th and over ten minutes off Cancellara's time, Hesjedal moved up to seventh.

While they made several headlines in the race, the team did not actually win anything and were 16th of 22 teams in the teams classification. Hesjedal's final placing was seventh, ten minutes and 15 seconds off the winning time of Tour champion Contador.
