all most too impossible to say.
I can only give my opinion for the era of cycling I grew up in '89 onwards. also can't think of many teams that dominated both the classics and the tours.
when it came to the tour de france Banesto were pretty dominent, I don't think US Postal were as dominent in the latter years of the Lance tours I think he almost won them on his own.
I think Mapei would probably get the nod for me they were The classics team plus taking the giro and, I think, the vuelta (with Rominger was he with them when he won).

Hmmm... Hinault's La Vie Clair or Fignon's Systeme U??
Peugeot foreign legion or the Dutch Raleigh Bananana mob?
I hate to say it but if we're thinking Tour it has to be the yanks, overall probably Peugeot back in the 80s.

Ohhhh, I don't think that Armstrong won by himself. What about hincapie and Azevedo pulling him along in the mountains I think he would of been swamped without some of his teammates.

PDM had an amazing squad around the end of the 1980s, beginning of the 1990s - finished second in the tour twice, won loads of the classics and one days. Hadn't realised it, but they even had Lemond in 88, though that was one of his quiet years, when he was sitting on everything but his rear.
I'd probably go for a mid 80s team from when I started watching first, so Renault-Elf-Gitane-System U-Castorama as being the greatest I've watched, though I wouold have been more a fan of Skil-Kas and PDM, largely thanks to Kelly.

All teams have their ups and downs and many are great but short lived.
The greatest, in terms of longevity and performance must be Peugeot through to Credit Agricole, soon to be disbanded.
