The Tour posted this quick history of the 2023 Tour's 22 teams: Movistar is one of the five teams out of twenty-two in contention who have already won the Tour de France at least twice.
The squad managed by Eusebio Unzué made it seven times for their previous title sponsors (five with Miguel Indurain, one with Pedro Delgado and Oscar Pereiro), just as many as Ineos Grenadiers (four with Chris Froome, one with Bradley Wiggins, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal)
Two teams won it twice: Astana Qazaqstan (with Alberto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali) and UAE Team Emirates (with Tadej Pogacar). Jumbo-Visma (1). Jumbo-Visma holds the record of stage wins: 70.

The Dutch outfit is second in the number of participations (39) behind Movistar (40) and before Lotto-Dstny (36). Ineos Grenadiers leads the tally of the Maillots Jaunes (91) ahead of Movistar (79) and Jumbo-Visma (45). Uno-X is the only newcomer this year but teams that Tour de France fans are accustomed with are yet to win a single stage (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and Arkea-Samsic) or to wear the Maillot Jaune (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty, Arkea-Samsic, Bahrain Victorious and Israel-Premier Tech).
