Just because a team doesn't do well in tour de france doesn't mean that it's a bad team. Just wait for the Vuelta and see them go nuts.
Lots of other teams didn't do much either. Look at AG2R, Lampre... who didn't win a stage. Even those who won 2 stages like Quick Step with Boonen had a pretty lousy tour because they were pretty much invisible in other stages.
