Cannondale has plenty of time.

On the subject of valv.piti -- I always have the sense of gross hypocrisy with his results... among the 20-90%.


There have been several short stage races and many pre-classics and 1 monument. They're best performance is what? King at Criterium International? So how are they magically going to pull together a GC effort for any races?
