As a UCI ProTour team, they were automatically invited and obliged to send a squad to every event in the ProTour. The team's general manager was Bob Stapleton, in his third year with the team. With the team's focus shifting to full-time support of prolific sprinter Mark Cavendish, many riders left the team after the 2009 season, most for the new SKY 2010. Several young riders, most of them in their first year at this level of the sport, joined the team to be members of Cavendish's new leadout train, which lacked Cavendish's primary leadout man from 2009, Mark Renshaw, for the first several months of the season due to Epstein-Barr virus.Cycling News http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/renshaws-absence-forces-columbia-to-shuffle-cavendishs-lead-out-train Renshaw's absence forces Columbia to shuffle Cavendish's lead-out train 2009-12-24 Cycling News 2009-12-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20100127040027/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/renshaws-absence-forces-columbia-to-shuffle-cavendishs-lead-out-train 27 January 2010 live Cavendish's own training and development were also stunted because of a dental infection. 2010 roster Ages as of January 1, 2010.

The stage was notable for events which took place during that sprint. Farrar's leadout man Julian Dean and Cavendish's leadout man 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 In stage 13 two days later, a field sprint seemed to be shaping up until Alexander Vinokourov slipped away for a solo win by a margin of 13 seconds. Cavendish indeed led the peloton across the finish line, but it was only for second place.

His five wins in the 2010 Tour gave him 15 for his career, the most ever for a sprinter despite only having ridden four Tours. His poor performances early in the Tour, however, meant he again fell just short of claiming the green jersey, losing out to Petacchi by 11 points. The squad finished 17th in the teams classification.
