Barloworld competed in the
Tour de France 2008
The team again received a wildcard entry for the 2008 Tour de France, but Soler was injured on Stage 1 and dropped out in stage 5. Three others left with injuries, and only four completed the race, with no top three placings on any stage. Moisés Dueñas had a positive test for EPO following stage four and was withdrawn before stage 11. Barloworld announced their withdrawal from sponsorship after the tour,[1] but on 28 October decided to sponsor for another year.
The team was not invited to the 2009 Tour de France.
