Saunier Duval-Prodir has closed its best season since the team was established four years ago, with Manuele Mori winning the Japan Cup on Saturday.

2007 included four stage wins, the maglia verde and team classification in the Giro d'Italia, plus several accomplishments in the Vuelta a España and other UCI ProTour races such as Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Eneco Tour and Vuelta al País Vasco, which have placed the yellow squad among the ten top cycling teams worldwide.
