Sky is the new Garmin. Someone always crashes. And if it is a different rider each time, you can't say it's because of poor bike-handling anymore. Pinarello doesn't look like the best material for me.

Whatever the reason, Movistar stopped using Pinarello a couple years ago. They wouldn't elaborate on specifics, but they were apparently so displeased they prefered to switch to a brand that would pay them less.
Spend millions researching unneccessary rear suspension, then use a prittstick to glue on the tyres.

They didn't spend any money researching anything, rear suspension is just one of those things that bike brands publicize as 'we're the first to have it!' despite it already being on sale in shops for years, just as a marketing gimmick.

Museeuw won Roubaix with a rear suspension exactly like Pinarello's. Next year some other brand will claim they've 'just invented the first rear suspension for cobbles!'

It's marketing ***, ignore it.
