The 2010 season for began in January with the Tour de San Luis and ended in October at the Giro di Lombardia. As a UCI ProTour team, they were automatically invited and obliged to attend every event in the ProTour.

The team's ridership changed drastically between the 2009 and 2010 seasons, bringing in a sizeable number of new cyclists. Only 5 of its 25 riders were retained from 2009. Six of the departures joined other ProTour teams for 2010, while of the twenty one new cyclists the team acquired, none rode at that level in 2009.

Fall races

Stage races

Valls took the team's first stage win of the year, at the Tour de San Luis. Valls broke away from specialist climbers in the leading peloton to solo to the finish line. The victory also gave him the overall leadership in the race at the time.{{cite web |url-status=dead

Grand Tours

Giro d'Italia

The team was one of 22 invited to the Giro d'Italia. They were not competitive at any point in the race. After failing to have any riders contesting the finishes to the Giro's first two road race stages, their best-placed rider in the overall standings before the transfer to Italy was Brändle in 51st, two minutes back of the race leader.{{cite web |url-status = dead |url-status = dead |url-status = dead |url-status = dead

Tour de France

With the guaranteed invite awarded in September 2008 to the former Saunier Duval-Scott team (this same team with different sponsors), Footon was one of 22 teams in the Tour de France. They were, as they were most of the season, greatly overmatched by their competition – none of the nine riders on Footon's squad had previously ridden any Grand Tour.

Cardoso, who earlier in the season had taken the team's only ProTour-level win, crashed hard near the end of the 10 km prologue time trial, and completed it six minutes slower than stage winner Fabian Cancellara. He did not start the first road race stage the next day. |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100708221007/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-4/results |archive-date = 2010-07-08 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100913224049/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-7/results |archive-date = 2010-09-13 |url-status = dead |url-status=dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100819075548/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-15/results |archive-date = 2010-08-19 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100815033234/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-20/results |archive-date = 2010-08-15 |url-status = dead
